drama-week 2

character

ok, so as for my character i am 15 year old typical high school student trying to get through school with passing grades. this character is for the school scenes of the play.
i also have a second character, i think i will call her Jessica or something, but it doesn't really matter that much because her name is not mentioned in the play, but just in case and so i can develop on my character more, i will give her a name. oh yer she also has an age, she is 27 and her aim in life is to succeed in her job and be noticed for the hard work she puts into it.

drama- week 2

yet again this week was spent chatting, and making little progress in our play. i look around at the other people's plays and they look as though they have done so much. Although our group did agree to stay after school on Tuesday, and i was planing to go, but my grandparents came down to pick me up at school so i had to go with them, because i don't often see them, it wasn't an excuse, honest. It turned out that the after school time was progressive, my other group members but together a plan of how the play could go and decided that it might be best if we had two main characters. i fully agreed with this decision after it was explained to me.

drama-week one

This week was spent running through our plays. so far we have a basic outline of the plot we want. the play seems like it is so far away, but when i think about it, there is only a few more class lessons, so i think our group will have to do some after school sessions if want a decent play (i know i do). i have noticed that by the time the end of a lesson comes we have not accomplished alot in our time, we seem to talk alot and get of task, it can be very annoying but i knew it would happen. sometimes i wish i was the timer so i could say 'time' so that maybe we would get a little more done in our lessons, not that being the recorder is bad (although sometimes it seems i am the only one doing anything).
well thats all from me this week, i hope next week will be more progressive than this week was. cya!

Drama-PLOT

well so far as for developing a plot for our group production this is what we have got:

There is a 15 year old high school student who disregards her peers and teachers in the effort to look 'cool' through her teenage years. things like throwing objects at the 'nerds' and calling people/ even teachers names behind their back is a daily routine for her day at school.
When she grows up and gets a job, using some of her old ways like she did in school to gain respect will know longer work for her anymore.
this will be to show the INSIGNIFICANT'S of fitting in.

NOTICE

Ms Mace, well i have been having some trouble with my blog so the next few blogs you read, some will be from what i have written down. ok bye bye oxox

the holiday lesson!!!

During the holidays i went to the school to work on our group production, fortunately, my group had the most people there that day which made it easier to work on our production. unfortunately i could not stay for the whole day , but while i was there we had a previous drama student, kane, come in to teach us for the first half we were there. we did some character building activities, but first our group had to come up with our characters, my character was the doctor. so far the plot of the play is about a girl who goes out drinking alot and one night has a car crash and is critically hurt, possibly affecting the rest of her life. this is to show how she thought drinking was insignificant in her life, when it really changed her life.
what i thought to be really good character building game we did was a game when we had one person sitting in a chair facing us in a character another class mate had picked for them, and their audience (me) had to ask them questions. everybody in the class had to keep in character. i think the exercise worked really well at the start, and people kept very focused, but because there were so many people to go through i have to admit i got a little of focus and I'm sure other people in the class did as well.
i also got my backstage folio back, i got 80/100 which is a B, i personally thought i put alot of work into, and was very pleased with my mark, although i could have of done better. well know that i know what to do i think i if i did another one i would go much better in that.
bye bye Beth ox ox
