Introduction to production (performance day )

    Our first performance had finally come , the hole process  was very different compared to what am used to doing in secondary .   We had the option to choose what our own  play is about  and we had to write our own scripts .     The  play was about romance  tragedy and war ,   i played the role as the fiance and the nurse. The idea of having two roles was hard at first but I learnt my lines and my character .    Since as the play was made up it was easier to understand the character because we already had a mindset how we would want them to be .   Me as the fiancĂ© had started off in the begging off the play very shy and  flirty .   This was because I was being introduced to an ex lover and was nervous to reconnect contact with them . How I played that role was mainly by using a lot of body language I had to Be very close with Jacob in the play .    And show a lot of care towards him , this took a lot of time to work on during rehearsals .   My second role as the nurse had to be very clusmy .   I made  a lot of mistake and was told off by his granddaughter each time she visits .     The 

Introduction peace


 In lesson we  rehearsed  our first two opening scene,   which is about  Jacob who plays the role of the grandad .   Laying in bed while his grand daughter visit him .   How we set up the opening scene  was by using 5 black chairs to make out as a bed and have a normal chair by the side of the bed .        The style of how we wanted to lay out the play was very plain we couldn't use a lot of  props because the college didn't have what we wanted  .    But we had to mime any prop we didn't have for example , with me i had to play more than one role . Where i had to be both nurse and the  fiance , whilst being the nurse i had to mime most of the equipment a nurse would have and make it look believable i was a nurse .    


 The weakness we had during rehearsals  that  we mainly need to work on  are  eye contact and body languages .  We need  to use eye contact so that the audience can see that we are playing  the character in the moment .  Mainly when me and Jacob are on stage because we have a bit of romance  between one another so we need to show the audience that . This would be  easier  by our body language and facial expressions , This was difficult  for me because i didn't feel comfortable  being close to Jacob or any other person .  

 When it comes to our acting it was very poor as to why we Needed to improve on it . The skills  we included would make our acting more better and look more believable towards the audience  . I felt like that was needed the most because I personally didn't like the idea of being so close to someone and found it very uncomfortable . I also found it best we work on in as a group so It wouldn't be Awkward on stage .  How  I was able to put those thoughts aside  and carry on working with Jacob . Was by behaving mature about the situation , why I done this was because I would love to be a actress in the future and this would help me in future . Because I may also be in the same situation or maybe worst and would have to put up with it .
 
   This would be useful in the future because there would be  many other different genres when it comes  to acting such as horror , romance , comedy   and ect     

In dance we worked on miming we done some dance routine using miming . This will help me during my performance  where i would have to mime picking up something or using it

In tutorial we had a cover teacher  name  Mike .
We discussed about our opinion on extremism and our thoughts , then we talked about terrorism  after that we had an class debate .
The class debate had began on what we all thought extremism is  from the top of our head , i  didn't have no idea what it was so i barely shared my opinion .   He  told us what it is and how it effected people .    the word extremism is when a person who holds extreme or fanatical political or religious views, especially one who resorts to or advocates extreme action .   We looked back to how the kkk  were and how the Muslims were discriminated  because of the religion .    
   For example this picture shows the thoughts the public had against the female Muslims , because they had to wear a hijab which is apart of there religion    they were accused of being terrorism .
