Skills audit 2

Evaluation

I have learnt alot in the past term already. One of the main skills I have learnt is to interpret a script in different ways by using objectives. I have also learnt many warm ups and acting techniques used to help create my scene. These techniques and exercises are extremely important because they help build a scene up slowly and carefully so that the end product is realistic and not pretend.

I really think I have improved learning my script because I learnt it as soon as I got it. This was very useful because then me and my partner were able to rehearse straight away without a script in our hands. I also found it easier learning the script because we added objectives for each line, this meant I actually knew my purpose so the lines came more naturally.

I have learnt that acting comes from the body not the mind. This makes acting more realistic and exciting because it is like watching someones normal life happen right in front of your eyes. I am able to use my body to communicate the character by using physical objectives, this is important because now on stage I always have a purpose even when I am not speaking. I have also learnt that you should say every line like you have something to lose. This has helped me alot because I now know every line I say is important, so I shouldn't speak too fast and it should have meaning behind it. I feel that I am now able to portray my character better and know exactly what I am there to do.

I have also learnt that every scene is a chase scene so you should spend your time during the scene using all the space otherwise when the chase is over the scene becomes boring. I know I should never have my back to the audience and the scene should be improvised in order to make the scene new, fresh and interesting for the audience to watch.

I feel like I have come quite a way since I started because I participate more during the lesson than I used to and I have learnt some truly amazing techniques which I know I will use for every performance I do in the future.
