Q1: You need to write a brief reflection on the work that you did today. How did the scene develop that you have been directing as a group?
A1: In this lesson, I found it difficult devising our own peice, however I think we spent our time constructivly. I was imputting a lot of ideas into the peice, yet the trouble we had as a group was turning those ideas into a physical peice. This is where we lost time, causing us to have not gotten as far into the text as we should have. I think we worked well as a group to incorparate and listen to all our ideas, however it proved difficult as some people were not as willing to give ideas as others. This mean't group leaders emeged to voice other peoples ideas. The scene in our group developed in terms of creating choregraphed movments in pairs. These should be symoblic and abstrct to represent something. However, we need to develop it further as we are struggling to make it abstrct, therefore it becomes to literal. It also developed as we got more familar with the physical aspect of the peice, making it more fluent and clear. Ideas that had not been put into practise the week before become part of the peice, giving us the chance to play around with these ideas and develop them as a group.
Q2: What action have we added to Tale 5? What do you think the impact of this might be?
A1: We have added the sounds of Jake and Sherene's argument coming from back stage. I think this is so effective as it makes the situation a whole lot realer. Things like abuse are so extreme and difficult that audience members may find it hard to visualise the reality of this event. With these sound effects the reality is clear and it makes it more dramatic and intense. The action of building the door way is also very effective as it adds a bit of movment and dynamic to the play. For the majority of that scene the stools stay in the same place. By moving them to make a door way, it demonstrates creativity and helps the audience see visualy whats happerning and it adds some variation. The making of the cafe also addes a variation. The action in the cafe of looking over at the pram was added. This impacts you as an audience member a lot as it shows how out numbered the lady is. It represents how everyone is watching and noticing yet no action is being taken. I think this is effective as it singles out the lady as not only a victim but someone who doesn't fit in with society. The lifting of Taffy at the end is also something that was added in. While im saying my lines, the rest of the ensamble gather in the corner and lift Taffy up altogether. They then carry here across the stage, this symbolises her being carried in a coffin as she has now died from her abuse. This impacted me a lot as it revisited the idea of a unified group. Only this time they were carrying her dead body. It also again singled out Taffy and made her seem important and significant. To me, it showed how once the event is over, only can the sorrunding people acknolwedge and particpate in her remembrance and bring her abuse to attention.

A3:
1. To be activly more invovled in the rehersal so I can have the best beifits from the lesson. This is because sometimes i find my self lossing energy and therefore i feel a little bit like I'm dragging along the back of this lesson. I need to push that feeling away and get involved.
2. To develop and focus on my voice and projection, while still mainting the physical aspect.
3. To work more on my lines again so their COMPLETELY LEARN'T. Allowing me to focus on my physical aspects without dropping my lines.

Unit 15 Performing Scripted Plays Rehearsal Self Observation
Marking criteria:
P2 Demonstrate personal and technical skills in rehearsal making a positive contribution to the process
M2
Demonstrate personal and technical skills in rehearsal, consistently
making a positive contribution and constructive contribution to the
process.
D2
Demonstrate personal and technical skills in rehearsal with
consistently positive and constructive contributions, engagement,
commitment, input and self- reflection.
Set yourself three rehearsal targets:
1. To be activly more invovled in the rehersal so I can have the best beifits from the lesson. This is because sometimes i find my self lossing energy and therefore i feel a little bit like I'm dragging along the back of this lesson. I need to push that feeling away and get involved.
2. To develop and focus on my voice and projection, while still mainting the physical aspect.
3. To work more on my lines again so their COMPLETELY LEARN'T. Allowing me to focus on my physical aspects without dropping my lines.
Reflect on the targets set: Have they been achieved? How?
I have made a promise to myself that next lesson I'm going to lift my energy up snd grab the lesson with enthusiam and energy. I have nearly achieve my second target. I have started to try to be aware of my voice at al times so I will be more aware while I'm on stage. I also am going to challange my self my going louder when I think im too loud as normaly im shying away from it an I'm actually quite quiet. However to know weather I have achieved this fully I must see if I continue for a long length of time showing consistency. To improve my voice I have also learn't my cues and lines (linking into my third target) this frees up my mind to focus on things like projection and my voice. For my third target I spent some more time learning my lines and I feels as if I know them, however that could change when I add my physical and vocal aspects to it.
What would you give yourself for today’s rehearsal?

I think i achieved a merit today as I worked really hard for most of the lesson. When I was a part of the peice i was activley enganged and giving a lot of effort. However, I spent a lot of time sitting of stage as other people did their lines. I feel that instead of wandering of in my head I could have put that time to better use such as taking notes about how the production is being put together and aspcets of the directing. Or I could have spent that time going over my lines, making sure I knew them.
