Evaluation
When we started our practical we first all watched the
nightmare before Christmas DVD then when we came back after half term sir
showed us Antonin artaud and he does theatre of cruelty which means he wanted
his audience to feel different emotion so like fell uneasy and sometimes feel
sick and sad. My initial response was that he was a very weird person but very
clever at the same because I can’t believe that just his performances would
make people feel like that and make them fell ill and upset for some characters
but others feel hate towards them. Sir then showed us what the A level students
had done and how we could take some of those ideas and put them in our
performances.
Our teacher then asked us to pick a character that we would
wanted to play in the performance. We then went on the computer and thought up
some really good ideas for monologues based on that character so if they were
scary or if they needed help we would have to realise their emotion and then
come up with ideas for ourselves. So on mine I had to make my character look
and sound really upset and lonely because in the DVD she was a bit of a lonely
character.
Then the week after we had been
practicing our monologues over the weekend and then we showed the monologues to
the whole class and we took it in turns they were the first monologue that we
had written because then we have changed it over the weeks.
We changed our monologues by adding questions so we that we
would be involving the audience then we could also change it by adding pauses so
it makes more tension then we could also put lighting and sound.
Then sir showed us some more videos of other people who had
done Antonin Artaud style and we took some ideas of how we could say our lines
and how we can express our emotion so that the audience feel our emotion and
feel sorry for the characters that are sad and feel scared and uneasy of the
characters that were scary.
Then the rest of the time we had we were practicing for the
performance day but in between sir would show us our videos that sir had taken of
us but we just kept practicing for the performance and i think the performance
went really well and everyone remembered their lines.
