 SHOWDAY!!

Today is a day that we as a class have all looked forward to and dreaded. Exited to show off our creative ideas and hard work but afraid that we might accidentally miss a que or botch up a line. We went in and everyone was relaxed and exited because we knew we had done everything we could for it. we only did a small amount of rehearsing of just the end part of the show. we worked mainly on our reactions to the big fight that almost happens. i think us other people at the park really bring more life to the scene now that were all more dramatic about it because before we were more flat, this just really brings up the energy and gets people intrigued in the story. we all got ourselves ready and had a long break before our 2 pm show where musical theatre, art and design and the A level actors came to watch as a warm up for our show later on. Even though it was kind of a practice show we still had to show the audience what we can do and make sure they can see what we put into it. Also this performance goes into consideration when we get our practical grade for the show so we had to give it our all. i think my performance in the first show was quite good, i think i committed to my character and used props around me to create a realistic scene however, my volume wasn't loud enough and i just needed to project my voice more. even when i was doing the show i was continuously trying to up my volume but it is never loud enough, for some reason it always sounds like I'm just as loud as everyone around me, but i am working on it. i think as a whole the first show was good but there was problems like people forgetting lines, people communicating with the audience, projection problems. then we had a long break before the next show where we heard our notes and worked on them and just re energized ready for the second show. For this show we were nervous because we had the man here to watch but not that nervous because we’d already preformed it once and everybody was very supportive of each other. For this show I think things went much better than the first show. Exit’s and entrances onto the stage were much cleaner and smoother (there was a few mistakes with people bumping into the people they were looking for). There was also a small problem with projection but we were heard clearly for majority of the play. There was way less gaps between lines and cues. I personally think me and Justin were a bit more panicked for this show because we were sat in our bench and we’d just be saying in character what’s next because we knew how important it was to be good. I still needed to up my projection but it is a work in progress. Nothings ever perfect and there’s always stuff to be fixed but we gave it a good shot, also I've posted the notes Tom gave us :) Tom enjoyed the show and was mostly worried about altering the staging for York's theatre.
