Bouncers performing arts weekly evaluations:

.1.    In this week’s lesson we started to focus a lot on the girl scenes as they were the ones that need developing the most. We had a few lessons on how girls do things such as the way they walk, the way they stand, the way they talk and all of the things girls do to develop our characters. We started off by being really stiff and everything didn’t look very natural, but then we got up and started to do some exercises which helped us because by the time that we have finished and moved into the next scene we was all really energetic which got everything in the right shape. We also worked really hard on script work and managed to do the first few scenes without scripts which we really surprised our self’s with.

. 2.  This week we have really worked on the technique of being able to change from one character to another changing accents or the way you stand as that is what most of the play involves. A lot of the time we have to change the way that we speak as men and women have different mannerisms. Changing the way that you stand is also something that I needed to show to the audience that you have changed character.  


    3.   Successful aspects:
I feel that the most successful part of this week’s lesson was all of us being able to run through a good chunk of the script and not having to use them and being able to run the scenes fluently. I also think that we also worked really well on developing the scene with the lads in as it was abit to similar to the bouncers scenes. We decided to change the stance of each other the way we talk and to be really cocky.

Unsuccessful aspects:

I think that some of the scenes need a bit more work on as they can sometimes become too dry and I’m sure that the people watching will defiantly start to get distracted which isn’t what you want because as soon as we lose that we might not be able to get it back fully other than that I feel that this week’s lessons have been successful  

4. The only way that I believe that we will manage to get the scenes better that we’re going off track with is to just keep on going over it and decide what needs improving, what bits are good and that sort of thing otherwise we don’t know what’s going wrong or what’s really good. Once we have done that I think that the scene should start to have a big change and the changes should be really effective all that’s needed is rehursal.
