In lesson today we went into the computer room and we wrote up our evaluation so sir gave us some help sheets and we had to think what we had done over the past couple of weeks and then write about so our evaluation will be about the nightmare before Christmas and Antonin Artaud.
My theory is that i don't know what to write so i am just going to have to remember what we did and then write about it best i can so im hoping that write a really good evaluation explaining everything i did in the weeks before the performance.
Our exercise was to try and remember what we did these pass couple of weeks and then we had to do was write so many paragraphs about Antonin Artaud and about how he did the theater of cruelty and then we also have to write about the nightmare before Christmas.
My personal response is that i get a bit stuck but i think i will manage if sir is telling me some things and if i keep looking at help sheets and then i might just be able to write a really good evaluation showing sir that i understand what we did in those last couple of weeks.
The conclusion is i really hope sir likes my evaluation and that i understand what we have been doing these past couple of weeks and that i can show sir that i really can write a good evaluation and that it has lots of detail about what we have learnt.

At the start of the lesson sir talked to us about our performance and how we had done he read out some postcodes from the headteacher and they read how good we did and it also read that he really liked the performance. Then we watched the people's performance who could not be their on the night and then we went to see the other year 10's do their performance it was very good.
My theory was that i did not know how our performance was i guessed by the way everyone clapped and looked freaked out when we walked back into the staff room. so i think everyone loved because my family said it was good and i think all my classmates did well.
Our exercise was to watch our videos from our performances then sir had a talk with us and read out some postcards and they read we had done really well then we got all our coats and bags and went down to the hall and watched the other year 10's do their performance.
My personal response is that i was really happy when we got a postcard from the headteacher saying that we did very well and i thought that the other year 10 groups performance was really funny and exciting so i think both year 10 groups did amazing.
My conclusion is that im really excited. Cant wait to start on the next performance and well done to everyone in both year groups i think we did amazing on our performance because it was scary and the other group did well because their's was funny.

In the lesson we evaluated ourselves if that is the right word so what happend is sir gave us a sheet of paper with things what we had to do in our monologues and if we thought we were good at what the box said we would tick the number one and if we thought we were not so good we would 3 or 4.
My theory is that i did not know how well i did some things so that really helped me to find out how well i did on some thing, Then afterwards the things we had marked on our sheets that we were not so good on we would practice our monologues and make them better with the things added.
Our exercise was that we had to see what we were missing from our monologues so sir gave us a sheet and we had to tick how good or how bad we were at these skills that we could add in our performance and then we would practice our monologues and try to make the skills better that we had marked low.
My personal response is that i think i did quite well at finding what i was good at and what my performance lacked in i needed a little bit of help from sir so like he just told me what they meant but then i just had to mark myself out of 1 to 4.
My conclusion can not believe that is only one day till the performance i really hope that everybody is ready i hope the audience loves it and we all love it. Cant wait till tomorrow for the performance i really hope that we now all our lines and really hope we scare our audience.

In lesson today we practiced on realism and surrealism if thats how you say so sir got us to lay on our back's and breath calmly then get louder so it sounded like we were angry then he got us to scream to the ceiling so that it sounded like we were angry and something and we just wanted to scream. Then we said one line of our monologue and we had to whisper it shout and do different voice pitches.
My theory is that i don't know how my monologue is going to be on the night and if i can put all stuff sir has taught us into my performance because there is loads of stuff to remember like voice,emotion,sounds and screams.
Our exercise was that we had to go around saying one line of our monologue shouting whispering all types of different voice expressions and face expressions also then we had to practice our monologues again and again and sir would come round and tell us important things to do with our monologues so then we could change them and then see if we liked the idea.
My personal response is that i really cant wait for the performance and also i think my monologue is really coming together now and just cant wait to show to the audience and thanks to all the people that help me put good ideas in and also all the different voices i could do.
My conclusion is that hope everyone is ready and excited as i am and hope everyone is ready because i think watching all the monologues is that the audience is going to love each and everyone of them and i hope that we enjoy performing them as well.

In our lesson today we swapped teachers so we had Miss Husband and we showed her our monologues in order which i think everyone did very well and miss said at the end that she was really interested and didn't lose interest.
My theory is that i think that everybody's monologue went really well and the feedback miss gane was really good she said that she was drawn in straight away she loved the performance so im happy for all the group and know i just hope that on Tuesday the audience love it.
Our exercise was that we had to show miss our monologues and see if she liked it and also see if she felt sorry for the ones that had been either kidnapped or self harming and then with the others a bit uneasy a a bit frightened in a way.
My personal response is that i think everyone did well in their monologues and that everybody had the right emotion if that is how you say it a think everybody caught the audience in a way that would make them feel sick and uneasy.
My conclusion is that i just hope that everybody is ready for the performance that they have had loads of rehearsal because i have i hope that everybody is excited about it and cant wait to perform because i cant wait.

In lesson today we watch our videos we recorded and then we had to go away and see how we could change them. Me and Philippa had some help from a 6th former that came in and she helped me and Philippa concentrate on how to change our monologues so not just the piece of writing but how to say those lines and how to interact with the audience.
My theory is that the performance is next week i really hope that all my classmates and me are ready and if we are i really hope the audience likes it but also makes them feel uneasy and also makes them feel sorry for my part when i am asking them for help.
Our exercise was to watch our videos from last week and then go away and think how to change the voice or the how much emotion we put into the piece so me and Philippa went with a 6th former and she told us ideas and we said if we liked them or not.
My personal response is that i cant wait for the performance i hope that everybody is excited and because i have got my costume and everything i need for my bit i am really excited about it but i need to have a bit more time rehearsing.
My conclusion is that i hope the performance goes well and everybody knows what to do and the audience likes the performance and everybody is excited about doing the performance and i hope that the performance goes well.

In lesson we rehearsed our monologues so that sir could recorded them so then we could look back at the videos what sir had taken and we could change anything that we did not think was right sir would then give us feedback of how we could change it so for me he said that I could pretend to show that he was there and a would scramble forward but then he would pull me back before the audience could reach out and grab me away from him.
My theory is that I dont know how I did on the video and I will have to wait till Monday to find out and then see what parts I need to change and how I could change them so when can I ask the audience questions and when can I try to get them to help me.
My exercise was to practise my monologue so that I could then get sir to video me then on Monday I could watch the video back and see what I had to change and what parts I should take out that maybe don't look so good I would then practise the changes and see if they worked.
My personal response is that I really excited about doing the performance and the dance and like I have said in every blog I really hope the audience will love and hate it at the same time so some bits will make them feel sick and others make them fell sorry for the character.
Hope the all my classmates are ready for the big night hope I do well and they do well and hope the performance is scary and all of the story's are twisted and nasty like my friend who is playing Santa clause i hope everybody monologues go well.

In lesson we rehearsed our monologues and also all the group have been thinking how they are going to change them to what they originally wrote so that means putting in light, sound and change any different parts in their monologue that they thought were not as good as what they have got know.
My theory is that I really don't know how my piece is going to go and if it will make the audience feel uncomfortable or not so I just really hope that my performance goes well and I really want to make people feel like they want to help me and not let me suffer from this evil person who in my monologue is keeping me prisoner.
My exercise given was to rehearse my monologue and change things in it so like asking the audience questions, shouting for help and screaming so basically making the audience feel sorry for me and making them like they want to help me.
My personal response is that I really hope that the whole performance goes well and also hope that my monologue goes well hope that I dont forget my lines and neither of the group does and i really hope that the audience will have mixed emotions.
Like I said in the paragraph above real hope the audience loved the performance cant wait to we perform it I am really looking forward to it and I hope that everybody fell the same way can not wait till we make our audience fell uneasy.

In the lesson we started to put together a dance for the start of the show and basically we got split up into groups and one group entered by climbing over the audiences chair's and the other group crawls from every direction of the stage we then cross over and begin the dance.
My theory is that i hope that we can get the dance going by Wednesday and hope that everyone knows what to do and that the dance will make the audience members feel a bit uneasy and that even though they might fell a bit sick i hope they enjoy it.
the exercise was that we had to think up a dance to this is Halloween the song from the film and put moves and ideas into the song then we would rehearse it and see if it worked if not we would put more ideas into it and hope the new idea worked.
I think so far the dance is going well and that by the end we will know what we are doing practice and practice it so that the dance goes well and that on the night the audience love it and that we will love doing it as well.
My conclusion is i hope that the dance goes well that we all know what we are doing and that the whole performance itself goes well for all of us and i hope that i can put loads of ideas into my work and the dance so that the performance is good with everyone's ideas as well.

My theory is that i don't know how my monologue is going if on the night it will be bad or if it will be good i just have to keep practicing and hope that it goes well and also im going to help Phillipa to boost her confidence and that she will be able to show it in front of the audience and show it to sir.
Our exercise was that we had to practice our monologue so we could get better and better so that they go well on the night in front of the audience and i hope that the audience like the performance that we are going to put on for them.

In the lesson sir showed us some clips on YouTube that showed a dark room and a man standing there and there were people were all around him and then we had our first production meeting on about what role each of us were going to take on for our self's like makeup,hair and props.
My theory is that i can't wait for our performance because we are getting all ready for our performance basically someone has already got their costume so their all ready i can not wait because all i want to do is make loads of people a bit uneasy.
Our exercise was to come up who was going to write minutes down and what jobs everybody was going to do then. Then after sir went all a round the people in the class and we told him how we were going to change our performance to make it a little bit better.
I think that i have to practice a bit more on my script and that i have to add more into it like maybe walk around but not to much because i don't want to ruin it i want to keep it the same with just tiny changes so i cant wait to the performance so that i can show how i have changed it.
i really want people to see what i have done with my monologue so that sir can see how i have changed it and to see if it is good enough and if not i will keep trying and trying until i get it right and how i like it.

in lesson today we had 15 minutes to rehearse our monologues because after that five minutes we were going to perform them to our teacher and our classmates the room would be dark and we would all watch each others i could not wait to begin oh and also to show mine even though i was a bit nervous.
My theory was that my performance could go any way it could go really wrong and i would forget all my lines or it would go really well and i would remember my lines and everyone would ask questions i also wanted everyone to fell a bit uneasy and a bit shaken.
Our exercise was to rehearse our monologues for 15 minutes then we would each take it in turn to show our monologues to the whole class and we could have lighting and sound which would make our performance even better so that they would look more effective and make people fell uneasy.
I think that my performance was good but some of my feedback was that i had to walk around a bit and not just sit down but still i think it was quite good and made people ask questions about why and i hope it made people feel a bit maybe sorry for the girl.
So i think my performance was quite good and hope that people really liked and im going to take the advice that my classmates gave and im going to change it a bit.

In the lesson we started to practice our monologues so that i could show my monologue to my classmates so i practiced really hard because i had to learn all of it and i could not have any script so it was really hard so i will just keep practicing until i have to show it.
My theory was that practicing was going to be hard like remembering what i had to say so i just cant wait till Monday to see if the practicing has paid off and also i really can not wait to show my performance and see what my classmates think of it if they think it is a bit uneasy and makes them feel a bit awkward and want to ask questions.
Our exercise was that we had to practice our monologue so that we could now it off by heart so that we could show it to my classmates and hope they enjoy it also we had to tell sir what we wanted our characters to bring in this performance and tell him what we wanted to do.
I think that my performance will go really well and make people ask questions and make people think why is she like that oh and also make people feel uneasy and i just hope that it goes really well and that everyone will like it.
I cant wait for my performance and i hope it will go really well and that i will not forget any of my lines can't wait.

Wednesday-13th November 2013
In today's lesson we worked again on our performances but this time we thought about lighting and sound
so me and Philippa worked together and made my dream a performance so basically were i am walking down a path someone touches my shoulder and i land on the floor with a scream.
Our theory was to make the class feel uneasy and ask questions like what was it about? what happend to the girl? so me and Philippa wanted to make our classmates and teachers feel emotion for the girl and a bit scared of the hand that came from no were.
Our exercise was to re perform our dream but with lighting and sounds so we performed in front of the class and make them feel a bit sick my teacher said that he felt a bit sick and uneasy and the TA said it made her feel uneasy as well so me and Philippa were happy that our performance went well.
I think that this task was very good because i found it very scary and i actually felt like i had left school and that my dream had come true like i was actually walking down a dark path so for me it was good because even though i performed it i felt scared as well.
like i said in my last log i will really enjoy this section in drama because i like a bit of horror cant wait for Friday.

Our exercise was to re perform our dream but with lighting and sounds so we performed in front of the class and make them feel a bit sick my teacher said that he felt a bit sick and uneasy and the TA said it made her feel uneasy as well so me and Philippa were happy that our performance went well.
I think that this task was very good because i found it very scary and i actually felt like i had left school and that my dream had come true like i was actually walking down a dark path so for me it was good because even though i performed it i felt scared as well.
like i said in my last log i will really enjoy this section in drama because i like a bit of horror cant wait for Friday.

Today we learnt about Antonin Artaud his style is theatre of cruelty. He was born 1896 and died
1948. This form of theatre launches an attack on the audience subconscious in an attempt to release deep-rooted fears and anxieties that normally suppressed.
His Theory was to bring people's deepest fears and emphasising screams and cries making them feel a bit uneasy and feeling a bit sick so i makes people emotional.
At the start of the lesson sir was sat in the middle of the room he was sat all alone and one person in my class moved a chair and sir stood up and moved it back by this time i think all the class were thinking what is going on and then again someone moved the chair sir turned his head and shouted and said just to leave him alone and then the class got really worried and uneasy. At the end sir all spoke to us we just wanted it to stop. Our exercise was that we worked in three's and showed the class one of our dreams to make them feel uneasy and to think why has that happend?
At first when sir was sat on the floor i thought to myself what is he doing but then when he got up and he was silent and he moved the chair back to were it was i was quite scared i did not go near the classroom door at all i did not even go in the classroom and then when we did our dream i felt like my mum and dad had just left me it made me want to cry.
I think that im going to enjoy this style of drama because i like doing the scary performances so i think i will enjoy this and i cant wait to see what we are going to next.
