SHOW NIGHT.

How I feel the show went....

We performed our show on Thursday the 13th last week. I feel as a whole performance it went extremely well and I received nothing but positive feedback. We all had so much energy and enthusiasm and all the pieces linked well with each other, all conveying a strong message. The finale movement piece went the best it has ever been, and we all put 100% effort into it, and it really did feel like school children running around in the playground. Myself, Sav, Chloe & Jade created a narrative between us which has never happened before, it kind of just happened. Myself and Sav were whispering and pointing at Jade and Chloe, and they were doing the same back to us. It was just like how girls were at school, all in competition with each other and pulling faces at each other. It was light hearted and funny, and added even more humour into the piece.

My groups piece I feel was really good, we all portrayed our emotions through our acting, and I was told it was very powerful and moving. Someone who came to see me from my family, said that they could tell that my monologue and acting had came from my heart, and it made them feel very emotional. Which is exactly what I wanted to hear, as this is how I wanted to make the audience feel, I wanted them to feel the emotions of our piece, and understand the serious issues we were portraying. 

The lighting and sound were excellent, and it really ehanced the feeling of our piece, it was almost enchanting, with the leaves on the floor and the little tea lights surrounding our performance box. It is just a shame that it was not filmed. In our second performance of our piece, our red flood light did not work, but we carried on as normal, and it worked very well as we had the tea lights, it was just dimmer, but it went well with the piece so this was not an issue.
At the end of our piece, we played a short 5 minute video performed  by Suli Breaks, all about education and how people should not let exam results decide their fate. This video is so powerful, and we projected it onto the walls in our space, and it had such a great impact on the audience and everyone can relate to this video and what he is rapping about. It is refreshing, modern and intelligent.
