Stage Combat Choreography

Reflection                                                                        22/11/2016 

Ward is going to be Caroline. Caroline is a very angry person and she gets angry easily. She doesn't like the gift Sophia gives her because it is the wrong size it is 10 sizes bigger. She thinks that Sophia thinks that she is fat. 

I am going to be Sophia. Sophia is a person that doesn't get angry easily. She buys a birthday gift that is 10 times better than her actual size, she gets beaten up.

I think I might forget a line or do an action wrong. But other than that I think it will be good.

In this stage choreography, I could have memorized my actions, but I did memorize the lines. I think we can improve on our reactions becasue it needs to look more realistic. We could have included more lines between the actions so taht we can know when we are going to do the action. In the unit I could have done stage slaps better because I forgot to do the sound a few times. In drama this term i learned how to act melodramatic and do stage combat. In the melodrama unit we learned how to act over dramatic and exaggerate everything. In the stage combat unit we learned how to make fights scenes without hurting anyone.

Stage Slap

Stage Slap                                                                        01/11/2016

Reflection:

We had a good structure of the arguement but Tesha did not make clear signs of when she was going to satge slap. We built up tension as the arguement went on. The slap was so sudden so I could not prepare but I tried to act like she slapped me even thought it was a slow reaction and I could not make the slap sound. I think it was not successful because of the delayed reaction I made and the sudden slap, it was very sudden. I learned that we have to practice slowly first and then do it. We also need to keep a safe distance between our partner and other people and objects so we will be save if someone falls or has to acts like falling etc. We also have to take jewelery, watches, things in pockets etc. for safety. we could improve the performance by doing the reaction on time and making the slap on the right time. We can also do a kind of movement that shows that she is going to say or she can say the last word she is going to say. I think that we did good in the building tension part and the arguement but we could improve on the timing of the slap.
