Blog It: Performance Two

I was proud that in the first production i remembered everything in the right order and i think i became part of the space and i think i stayed in character for most of the time.

My objective for this performance was to:
Enjoy my roles and try and develop my characters, by improvising when just one of the public.
- I really enjoyed this performance i think it is by far the best we've done, and i think i did develop my character a bit by during the love duets jolting as an impulse, as my character has been in a car crash and I'm remembering it and so it gives the audience an idea of why I'm going into the light...

Before this performance i was a lot less nervous because we'd performed the day before, but right when the music started and the boys started doing their duo, i got nervous at the end of the day every performance your going to be nervous before its how you use that to your advantage that matters.

I felt that i was a lot stronger in my performance today, i felt i brought a more, deeper and raw emotions into it. I used emotional memory to create a more believable emotion during the squares section. I felt i stayed focused through-out i didn't corpse at the seconds years, there wasn't any confusion regarding the running order and i just felt a positive vibe from the audience, and the cast - it was a great feeling!

Feedback:
- some people where intimidated by the intimacies of the space and the emotions.
- Dionne said we changed the energy of the whole building( first time in 100 years )
- We broke boundaries and it was said that the audience didn't know how to react.
- Kerry said that it was an amazing achievement for us to have done this in our first year as there wouldn't have been able to do it when they were in the first year.
- We got the blood pumping around the building (again for the first time in 100 years)
- one boy said he was laughing at us which was good because there are different reaction from different people

"ts hard to perform in front of an audience that aren't there to be your audience"

We shouldn't be apologetic to the people in Bourne Hall in our minds, body and eyes because it shows them that were not confident and makes them right that we shouldn't be there, but when we are performing its our space we need to OWN IT!

So afterwards i was hot, but other than that i was jumping for joy ( literally - ask Chelsea) i felt it was amazing, i personally don't know how we will top that but knowing us we will, easily!

The moment i enjoyed the most was probably the physical scores again because i love freaking people out and they don't know where its coming from.

My least favourite part is during the physical score part the sound of the heart - i don't like doing that because i think it's weak, it doesn't sound like a heart, and so i go fast as i want to get it over with but then Dan, Nikki & Alice's physical score is delayed because that's one of their ques
Eeeek!
New material, that scares me! we've only just got confident that we know the running order and now were changing adding and developing it! I am excited to see how and what will be added and changes, i know we can easily do it and make it like we've had it in this all the time!

I'm nervous but excited about tomorrow, first to see whats going to change and then our family coming to see us! but I'm scared that there will be too many people and we won't be able to move! and that I'll be to scared and just freeze - which I'm sure i wont!
