Unit 9 & 10 - Acting Technique & Performance

Teacher Feedback  

  Spotlight On You: Evaluation Strengths Throughout this course, I would say one of my personal strengths was my informative vlogs that I made in relation to Greek Theatre and Commedia Dell’Arte. I think these were strong as I was able to present the information and make it more interesting. These vlogs allowed me to get really involved and invested into these sections of theatre and allowed me to express myself more. These vlogs had scripts that I made and they not only tested my creativity but also my ability to perform my words to make it engaging for an audience. These vlogs opened avenues for me to help to become more confident to try new acting styles.

  A Midsummer Night’s Dream Performance Evaluation PART ONE 1. What was your initial response to the practitioner Shakespeare? How has this developed/changed during the course of rehearsals and performance? I overall had a very positive initial response to the practitioner Shakespeare. I personally really like the way he uses language in his plays. The hidden meanings of his plays are metaphorically hidden in his scripts and I really enjoy that as it makes audiences think deeper about what he’s writing about in his plays.  I find the language in Shakespeare’s plays rather mesmerising but I knew it would be tricky to learn. As the language is different to modern day language, I knew learning the scripts would be complicated as it is a completely different way of speaking. This is something I was a bit apprehensive about. Shakespeare writes tragedies and comedies and I was hoping that we would be ding one of his comedy plays as they are something that fit my acting style more. I...
