The day began with the hole class rehearsing our play in the theatre so we could have a mindset of how the play may look . The rehearsals were very smooth we all remembered our lines . However we all kept coming out of role by laughing at our mistakes , but on the other hand everything else was good . The costumes for the plays from the costume room in the theatre , they were very plain and simple for the audience to understand which character is who . I wore a plane green blazer to represent i was the bus driver . The school children wore white t-shirts and the teachers played by Remal and Sawar both were dressed smartly in there blazers and ties . The lolly pop man played by Obafemi who was in a white t-shirt and tie .
The role i was given was a little bit challenging but i worked on my lines and learnt more about my character .
My character was a typical bus driver who didn't like school going on to there bus , why? well because these school kids were always loud unruly and always brought the wrong stuff onto my bus . Stink bomb lemonade and chocolate a load of rubbish that causes lot of mess . I was very cruel selfish to these since as i didn't want them on my bus .
How the performance went ? i felt as if we did really good as a class we all was very confident on stage and played our roles very good . We also helped each other out if we had forgotten a line without embarrassing each other . i personally felt the play was very boring and childish i didn't like the play at first but that was until went over it the more i become to enjoy it and understated why we did certain things . Whiles performing on stage i was very nervous at first i felt as if i was going to mess up , but the audience was very supportive so that helped gain my confident . The dance we did at the end was very messy and needed a bit more practice on it ,
Our main weakness would have to be the dance we performed at the end which was horrible . We practice the dance for awhile and still couldn't get it right . the main problem was being on the same pace which is something we all couldn't do . During the performance i was looking around trying to see if i was doing the same thing as everyone else . Which didn't help me because that had made me loose focus and finish the dance before everyone else .
the straightness we had throughout the performance was teamwork although the dance didn't go well we still carried on as a team . We also have good listening skills because we were all listening to one another whilst being on stage on was concentrating very well .Our best scene would have to be the scene where Yasmine was about to jump off the bridge . It was very dramatic and over the top which was the aim for the play . Also the scene were i have been asked to pull over the bus , was really dramatic like how we practice in Mandy lesson .
This performance will definitely help me in the future if i was to work in a theatre in future the more am on stage the more i personally learn something new. Also the classes we had with Mandy were very helpful when it came to movements which is the main thing she taught us .
