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.
