Overall i feel that our final performance  was  the best run thought we have ever done everyone performed to the best of there ability and the show went near perfectly.With the help of the costume props set music and AMAZING actors we achieved what we had set out too.
personally what went well for me was my body language and facial expressions i felt through the whole thing and even on the sides i maintained my character through the whole thing until we stepped out of that room. But thought rehersals i had some difficulty with some of the things i said and i felt quite awkward and didnt know how to say them such as 'what were his teeth like?' i was not sure how to say this but i finally got the hang of it with Ms help. Also my costume really help me to get into my characters zone i wore a school uniform and i felt very comfortable with everything which really help me calm down. for the beginning part i was prepared with my mouth was and me and alex worked really well together on that piece and it came together really nicely. 

i thought a scene that was very effective was the simple scene with leah(ella) and phil(chem) where they did not talk but the actions they performed and there characterisation and chemistry connection was perfect they performed they proxemics to a T as shown in the picture above as they where close this showed a level of intimacy but as she broke away it showed the connection brake and it is very powerful because through out the play leah builds up to that moment but then she lets it all go. she brakes the connection and this is very effective to the audience because although at the sides  i remained in character i also felt moved by this scene. 

Our piece as a whole was effective because of the little details as the set was simple but the little details like the swing just created the right atmosphere for the play and the way the audience where laid out (thanks to Ms for all the best direction) and the was we had to stay in character just help liven up the show and bring the energy up. Everyones acting was amazing and we all worked so hard on our characterisation and we put the effort in a lunch time rehearsals and staying later after school but it was all worth it in the end, the music in the show that Ms created was amazing and help massively towards this piece foster the people - pumped up kicks at the beginning really set the energy for the whole thing.And also the commitment of everyone brining in props and making sure every little detail was correct and we all help each other for our costume we all wore green ties and uniform to show we schooled together and this helped us connect more as a theatre group.

The main strengths of the performance where they characterisation people did and there characters it made the piece so natural and believable.
the only thing that could of been improved was the small drop of energy till the end we just had to keep that going but other then that it went so well,
And i am so lucky that i get to perform with such talented young friends and im so proud of all of us and overall it went 

PERFECT.

(SORRY FOR BAD QUALITY)

THIS IS A PEER ASSESSMENT SHEET I DID ON ELLA  AND URSULA BECAUSE I FELT IN THIS REHEARSAL THERE CHARACTERS REALLY SHONE THROUGH AND THEY USED CHARACTERISATION TO THE BEST OF THERE ABILITY 

THIS A ROLE ON THE WALL OF MY CHARACTER-DANNY 
THIS IS A SELF OBSERVATION SHEET

 THIS IS A PEER ASSESSMENT SHEET I DID ON ROMY AND ELOISE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE INTERESTING DOING THEM ON THE SAME SHEET SO I COULD SEE THERE DIFFERENCES AND SIMILARITIES 
THIS IS A SELF ASSESSMENT SHEET I DID  THIS ONE I DID LATER THEN THE OTHER ONE I DID ON THIS PAGE SO IN THIS YOU CAN SEE HOW I HAVE IMPROVED AND CHANGED MY CHARACTER BUT STILL KEEPING MY TARGETS FOR THE NEXT REHEARSAL 

1. What you are saying.I am talking about dentistry and mostly rambling to myself until i have enough and address boe and Stephanie and i want to tell them what i am feeling so i start to talk to them only to be put back in my place by boe.

2. Who you are talking to and why.i am at first talking to my self then i start to address others around be (boe and stephanie)
because i want my voice to be heard and not to be left in the shadows.



3. What you are thinking.

in this moment my character is being quite selfish and she does only want to think about he self and the situation there in how is effects her she does not ask for others opinions and is being closed minded but this is partly because she is scared and does not know what to think about the situation. But she fully expresses her feelings out to people and does not keep them locked inside her self, she addresses others.


4. What your character wants from the scene.


In this scene all my character wants to do is to be heard 

and she is very focused on getting things her own way 

she wants people to pay attention on her and acted like 

they care just for a moment so she can get some feeling 

of for- fill -ment 

in this photograph you can see a text message we all got to chose what are text messages are characters got and my character got a text message with acceptance to dental college and this showed up in the beginning sequence.


This photograph is an example of what we had to do for all of the play we stood behind the audience and remained in character before we went on and after we got off.
this photo is a perfect example because everybody in site is in there character and it is very distinktive.  
These two photographs are in scene 1 were ben and ursula are telling everybody about adam and what happend to him in this scene i am not talking but i have to constantly stay in character and i have to react to what they are saying and think about my body language. my character is quite nervous and tensed at first situations but as she begins to feel more comfortable her body language changes and thats why i am very calm and my body language is relaxed in this photograph but later on in the scene she begins to tense up more because she finds out what really happend to adam and this makes her feel very uncomfortable. she does not know how to react to the situation she has been put into.
