Script Details

Now you have evaluated....

You need to get the script bits together. You can do this in groups. Start with the group you worked with in your first scene. Detail it with all entrances (for all characters), include all lines of dialogue and interactions, describe where and how actors move in the space, and how you exit or make a transition into the next scene.To make this speedy, you could decide as a class who will write up (and assist in the contributions) each scene, so all 5 scenes (So Rheane has her script typed...she might lend it to us to add to as a group!!) are completed for me by the end of today's lesson. As some of you are away I would like this completed by Tuesdays lesson next week so we can begin our next unit!!! Yey!! :-)

Performance Evaluation

Congratulations to all of you for a piece of extra-ordinary theatre last night!

Now we need to finalise all the documentation and marking. The first thing I want you all to do today is EVALUATE your OWN performance from last night. Be honest, but also be positive about yourself...maybe a friend can help you if you can't think.

Please do so in the following way:
1. Using a scale from 1 - 5 (5 being the best) rate your performance on the four core principals: Energy, focus, self awareness, group awareness.
2. How 'convincing' were you in the role/roles you played? Did you shape each role to its full extent?
3. How did you use your voice? Evaluate your volume and projection, the vocal tone or resonance, its appropriateness for the character and moment of the compostion, and clarity and articulation - were you clear?
4.How did you use yor physical skills? What did you do with your body that was 'extra-ordinary' for the audience? What risks did you take? How did you interact with the group and the audience?
5. What, if any, feedback did you get from your family/audience about your performance and the show in general.
