On Thursday Evening and Friday afternoon, we did our performance, 'Letters'. We were showing how different types of letters can make us feel through physical theatre so there wasn't as much talking in this show. In my opinion, both performances went well.
I felt as though all of the scenes went smoothly, but I particularly felt like 'Snakeblood', 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and 'Everything Is Awesome!' were perhaps the best. This is because, at first, we weren't sure what the audience would think of them because 'Snakeblood' was a serious piece and 'Bohemian Rhapsody', which came straight after, was a silly piece. The same for 'Everything Is Awesome!'. We were worried about the two sillier scenes incase the audience wouldn't find them funny and not laugh at them because they are the silliest scene throughout the performance. But once we did both of them, the audience enjoyed both of them and we were pleased that they did. I felt like I did well in the 'Snakeblood' scene because although it is dance based, it was an easier piece of physical theatre for me.
Although a lot of the show went well, there were little things I felt needed improving. For example, on the first night, which was the Thursday, when the audience were sat in their seats and we moved to get into our starting positions, once I had got into our positions and stare at our letters, at one point, I lost focus and took a glimpse over to the audience. I wasn't sure whether anyone noticed me doing this, but I felt annoyed at myself for doing so.
Another thing we pointed out was when we were doing the 'Everything Is Awesome!' scene, just before we did the show, Ami requested if we could leave the front part of the stage so she could do her flips. When it came to doing this, we forgot to leave the front part of the stage for Ami. We later discussed this when it came to doing the matinee.
Another thing I did, which was during the matinee, when we did 'Bohemian Rhapsody', because I start that scene off, when I started, I flicked my hair back. I was annoyed with myself because everybody would probably have seen this and with me being first in that scene, it was really noticeable, so I was annoyed with myself at this.
I was also disappointed because during the 'F.E.AR', when I have to go on the floor, I managed to somehow bruise myself. This was difficult for me when performing because it was painful. Because of this, I have been put off doing most physical theatre movements which includes going on the floor, incase it happens again.
In conclusion, I felt like 'Letters' went really well and that apart from the comments above, there wasn't that much that needed changing. I felt like we all had done well and with it being our first show since starting in September, it went really well.
