evaluation

Evaluation As I was about to rehearse, I felt happy and welcome by the Camden peoples theatre staff. Going through the scenes again and again made me even more confident because my memory is not that good. Rehearsing plenty of times and people just watching me made me fully prepared for the up coming show to start. As the show started, I felt a bit nervous so I decided to go out there and make my mum proud. What I did well is that I came out on time and stayed in character. What I need to improve is when I go in the door I wasn't really looking around I was mostly just walking of.  

CPT THEATRE

CPT Theatre  How the theatre will look like: Since the theatre is (5m x 4m) my group has decided to put 3 pumpkins at the front and spider webs at the back (2m). Also I have decided to put the group of musicians in different corners e.g. at the side of the audience. How does the story go? There are 5 students who would like to go inside the haunted house to have an adventure and look around but as they open the door they each get lost and see creepy figures... productions/lightning We will need the Fun Generation LED RGBW light, Pulse LED RGB light,  Par 56 (short nose), costumes All black for everyone props An wand which lights up when touching an button Today we have told Ezra that at the start of the performance there is doing to be dim white lightning. The reason why I picked the white lightning is because at the start of the scene they will be always be an introduction from all of the characters so we have decided to add dim white ...

                                                              Silent Movie Acting skills For the silent project with Shenagh, we done exercise where we lay down on the floor and closed our eyes while Shenagh gives us instructions of how to realise stress and anxiety. After, we would be doing warm ups such as going up and down, touch your hands to the floor, squat 3 times, stick your bum up and then slowly go up. This is what we mostly do every Monday to keep us wide awake and energized. After woods, we would be doing tongue twisters such as "sally sells socks at Sainsburys", etc, in order to help with our pronunciation to Shakespearean old English and also improve...

silent movie goods and improvments

what went good and what needs to change what do you think went well so far? I think what went well so far is when we worked together as a team and kept focused without laughing. The fake scratches that were made in the scene by Ashly, Henok and Adina were looking very realistic, its like someone really scratched me with some marks on it. What also went well is that we have an amazing director which is Henok, he would tell us what to do when we get on and when we get of. Before the acting we decided  to make a group about what we should get?, what costume to wear?, What would you change in the next act on Monday? what we would need improve is to change into costumes because Alana did say that her costume got "stolen" and the rest just somehow didn't bother, I was the only one with my costume. What we can change is to try at least and remember how the story line goes because half of them forgot how it went. We also need to keep track on ...
