Principles of Performance
We've been working on our greek theatre plays, I had to be Antigone and my partner was Sara, her role was Ismene, Antigone's sister. After our performing we started working with Rob at "The Cherry Orchard", I was Ranyevskaya, the old,silly and sophisticated mother of two girls who has been through a lot lately and she was about to lose her home in the scene when I was playing her character. My partners were helpful and we tried to understand the subtext together, we worked all the time as a team and I liked the results, we also received a good feedback from Rob after the assessment, he said "Well done! Everyone progressed." , I felt like our assessment went really well. We've used Stanislavski's acting styles and techniques, for example : the classical acting, using the expression of the body, voice, imagination, personalizing, improvisation, external stimuli, and script analysis. We also used Uta Hagen's exercises, I think they are really helpful, my favourite exercise says "Keep it simple by avoiding melodramatic situations", I know that I'm not melodramatic but I love how this exercise can help the others, I don't know if they can see my evolution after using these exercises but I can see theirs and I like it!
In Sharon's class, firstly, we had to work on "Medea" as an ensemble, I said in September's and October's blog how the rehearsals went, the main idea is that the end was good, our performance went good and we managed to work together as a team. After the performance, we had to work on our story telling and on classical monologues, I choose to do Helena from "A midsummer's night dream" by William Shakespeare, we didn't had enough time to rehearse it in class so we had to rehearse it at home, I used Uta Hagen's exercises to become more familiar with the text "The exercises will all take place in your re-created room - where you live now. Do not set them in any other environment.", I feel like the assessment went really well, again. I felt confident on the stage, Sharon gave me a good feedback, also Jessica B helped me with her feedback, she enjoyed my moment and I enjoyed it too. After the assessment we had to write down our work, as usual.
