drama- friday-week 4- Reflection

today was the double lesson after our performance. we all dat together and debreafed about our performances. i think our class did verry well, and im not just saying this because its my class and i dont want to sound cocky, but i think out of the two classes ours had maybe worked our better.eh? it was a really fun performance. everybody seemed to have of enjoyed it. i was happy to hear that they thought mine and lisa's lighting job was done well, but wasnt done so well for the other class. this was probobly because kate wasnt there the whole day and i had to do our classes lighting for her,and i understood everything they wanted but since kate wasnt there to do it herself, doing it for the first time on the performance night may have of been a little confusing for her. but we all managed and i think it was a successful nigh.
as for what the other people in my class said about our performace....well they didnt say that much about our's, but that we had our message portreyed very good, and that our scene changes were also good because they were short and not very noisy because there wasnt alot to move really. it was well organised i think and thats what made us excell in that part i think.
overall it was fun, i want to do it again some time, and thanx to Ms Mace for not chucking the towel in on us when it looked hopeless that anything was going to be ready for the night.

performace day!

today is the big day we have all been waiting for. tonight is the performance and i am very excited. we have had a minor delemor, as erin has not been at school lately, so we dont know if we will have to perform without her or not, hopefull she will make it.
this is like the biggest roll i have ever had in a performance that is being shown to the public, it isnt as nervracking as i thought it would be, but maybe when the actual time comes to perform and do the lighting i will be alot more nervous. we shall see!!

drama-week 4

yey! tomorrow is the performance day and im so excited. lesson five today we went through our play and we have finnaly got it all done. I like our set, i think it was a good use of props. we have the blocks as our packground wall thing in the school scenes, then when we change to our office scenes the wall turns into desks, then when we go to the final scene it changes into a stage, i thought this was a very clever thing that our group all came up with.
i have all that is needed for my character. i will be wearing plack pants with a green top, trying to look cashual school type girl.

drama- week 3- friday night

I just got home from school. Our group has been rehearsing for the past hour and a half. We have done three rehearsals this week and I think we are getting quite close to our finished product. I volunteered yesterday to do the lighting for the other classes drama performances with Lisa, I think I know what I am doing but I really don’t want to stuff it up. Thinking about previous performances I have done, usually I would be really nervous the few days coming up to the performance, but strangely enough I am quite calm about it, more excited. Maybe this is a good thing and I am finally learning not to freak out about things and just have fun. I have noted for myself that my homework is to develop more on my character, its been hard but I am positive I will get it!

drama- week 3

hello,

well it is like a week to the performance. Im a little worried we wont have our play polished to the best it could be. it is becoming harder and harder to sit every lesson listening to the people in my group talk away our class lessons. i wish i could say it was my fault to but the truth is i rarely talk with the other people in my group because i hardly know them, and we don't have alot in common. i think they are all great people but it is beginning to be more and more noticeable of the little work we have been doing in class. we have organized lots of after school rehearsals and hopefully that will help (if everybody will come). I'm also having trouble with my character for the school scenes. She is a 15 year old high school student. i think it makes it easier, with this kind of situation, to know the status of your character, Lisa and Erin are 'popular' and Ben is a 'nerd' and i am kind of in the middle. this is hard because i cant develop a character of somebody being popular in a school or a nerd. so i am trying my best to develop a character that can fit..well....just being normal i guess, but i keep thinking if i do this it will be to boring, well i am confusing myself now so i will stop rambling on. i hope you can sort of understand what i am saying Ms Mace.

bye bye
