Evaluation

My scene-
Overall i think my scene went well. Some things we did well was understanding our objectives for the scene and our characters motivation for everything they say or do which allowed me to think as my character and really understand the scene. We also knew all our lines and didn't mess up allowing it to flow easily and not focus on the next line but the next feeling and intention. We also had spacial awareness and created a world for us to perform in, i could vision the environment they were in and allowed that to effect the way i moved and behaved because i was in a work place. We kept in character during the scene and had strong three dimensional built up understandings of those characters to rely on this is a low status not powerful point in her life where she wouldn't be strong and powerful and i think i projected that but i could have played up parts like her fainting more. We also had some chemistry which was something we worked on a lot because at the start i felt really awkward doing the scene with Dan and we had to iron that out and create a nervous but flirtatious on stage energy to match the scene which i think we achieved.

The performance would have been even better if we were less awkward about the kiss, the other group went for it which was really shocking and different to our approach as we played it down as they were at work and it was against the rules so it was more of a secretive and small thing than a full on make out.  it would have been better had more knowledge of the world outside the scene such as the scene before, i knew she had just found out about Neil and Stevie as this was one of her motives and i looked at the previous scene a bit but that has to effect where you are and you can't start a scene from half way in a play like its the start as if your not effected by whats happened. we also could have had better rehearsals, we didn't know efficient rehearsal techniques and tended to get carried away in lessons yet we worked lots outside of lesson time.

Laila and Eva's scene-

Laila and Eva did the scene where Bridget tells Linda that Alice ran away, I thought they had a great connection and understood their objectives and characters really well. Laila had really good body language and characterisation of being a young and nervous Bridget and i think she created the world outside the scene by bringing on what has previously happened to her and taking her previous situation into consideration. Eva vocally projected really well and had clear objectives on stage. There was a slight line issue in the middle where Eva said the wrong line but it was brought back and they stayed in character handling it well. They were the first to perform which is a hard thing to do and i think they set a high standard. Overall i think they had a really strong performance.
