300 Words Progress Evaluation

We have made a lot of progress on our performance since our draft before Christmas Break. We have been able to incorporate more emotion into our performance as well as stage directions and additional props to our oringinal setup. We have been mainly working on the dramatic aspect of our performance because of how dry and uneventful our first draft was. So we have been performing each individual scene between the characters in that scene. This has been helpful for us because in our other performance drafts we have seen great improvement in the emotions of everyone in the group. Another thing that we have been working on is our stage directions. It is important to know where to go on the stage when the characters are performing in the scenes. This gives our performance a more realistic feel rather than the characters just standing in place. Another thing that we have been working on is owning our character. This means that we have been working on thinking the way that our characters would think in the book. My character is Little Guy, so I am working on acting more childish in the begining of the scene but then maturing and becoming older in the later scenes. There are some things that we have to working on. One of those things is line memorization. This is very important for our performance to be successful. If everyone knows their lines, then the performance will flow better, but if somebody does not, then there may time in the performance where nobody is saying anything. It is also important to know when to go on and off the stage. The last thing that we need to work on is to remember to have fun and relax on the stage. I perform better when I am not nervous and having fun. These are some of the things that we have been working on and what we need to improve for our final project.
