Writing Frame Questions

On friday we were given our stimulus for our upcoming devised performance which was an APPLE. We were given a blog writing frame by our teacher and were asked to fill this in, about the 3 exercises we learned on friday all involving the APPLE;

1. Describe an exercise: Individual chair improvisation in front of everybody- using apple as stimulus
2. What did I learn from it?: I learned how to portray my emotions to the audience to a more advanced level without speech and to radiate my feelings. We had to use the apple as a symbol of a gift we were going to give to somebody we love. I felt my emotions were shown in this improvisation, there was a beginning, a middle and an end. The middle was the climax, the realisation of the apple and what it meant. The ending showed the decision I made to give the apple to someone I love. I also learned how to become more comfortable and confident with improvisation, and portraying emotions in front of the class.
3. How can you use this skill in devising? : This can be used in devising by creating a deeper connection with the audience and will allow the audience and actors to feel more involved and show emotion WITHOUT speaking. 
4. Describe an exercise: Giving and recieving of the apple in pairs. I was with Jenny and we were both focused on the apple at all times and used the apple in turns to lead one another.
5. What did I learn from it? I learned how to extend my team work skills andf focus all my energy on the object (apple) and not the other person. And how this different focus creates a completely different feel for the audience and also myself. It involved deeper levels of concentration.
6. How can you use this skill in devising? I can use this skill in my devising piece as it has enabled me not to think too much about what I am doing and to just go with the flow and keep ,my concentration levels very disiplined at all times.
7. Describe an exercise: Apple leading other person, in Pairs.
8. What did I learn from it?: To focus more on the object rather than the other person and to recognise the power of an object and the importancy of staying focused at all times.
9. How can I use this devising? This exercise involved a lot of trust, and I can use this in my devising as I have learned to trust everyone in the class to a deeper level and this will allow me to feel more comfortable with another person and to know that we can trust each other.

 WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I HAVE TAKEN AWAY FROM THIS LESSON?: 
Being able to portray my raw emotions more freely in front of an audience and feeling cionfident with my ability to radiate and express feelings.
