Well, today we went on an excursion to see the performance of ‘Prayer to an Iron God’, performed by the ‘club’ (as they refer to themselves as), Urban Myth. We went to a theatre in
The performance was about abuse. Possibly to make us more aware of it? I was a little side tracked about getting down notes in the performance so I didn’t get to focus on the performance as much as I would have of liked to.
I did like the performance, although it was a little too stereotypical. I know the typical ‘Bogan’ characters tried to be perceived as individuals more, but I found it was a little stereotypical, which didn’t make it as good as I thought it could have been.
There were four performers throughout the entire play. My favourite character was Skunk. Mainly because he had a really fun character to work with. He had a lot of cool characteristics, like, having an infected ear, a hilarious laugh, and just being able to play a typical Bogan Aussie with a humorous twist.
It was a little awkward at times though. With violence scenes, a sex scene, and a lot swearing. But these elements did give it a more realistic vibe. It was also a little distracting having another school there, as they seemed to mimic a bit through it which was annoying.
Overall I think the play was good, but maybe I was just expecting more. It had a lot of high points and a few low points and I think will be easier to write a review on, than the last play I reviewed. Well, let’s hope J
Goodbye, Beth

Hey Beth,
Well overall your blogs are a good overview of what you have been doing in class and what your thoughts and feelings are. Keep trying to look critcally at what you have been learning about theatre and Drama in lessons. Often it is not spelled out or put in notes on the board. It is really the thought processes that go through your head that leads to the learning. When does something you see make you think postively or negatively.
keep going. I am so sorry that I have not been checking them regularyly. could you send me an email again when you want me to check as when i check me email I will be on the net and can check blog also.
Great start
Ms mace
