Devising test performance

Today we performed all of our performance so far to an audience of first And second year students from our course. The performance was not completely finished and so our main reason for performing was to get some constructive critasizum so that we could improve our performance ready for the actual show.

Areas of improvement:
Some of the comments from the audience said that it was a very physical piece however we could improve on control of our body as we weren't all insinc in slow motion moments or in some of our coupled scenes. We also could work on facial expressions as there was some people who fully committed facially but at other points people were concerntrating so hard that we forgot to add emotion. Also they said that we weren't all in the same energy state so some people looked as if they were putting in more effort then others. We also could improve on the way we walked in the Madonna scene as we just normally. For example we could walk so far and then take two steps back or create boundaries for how people are allowed to walk in order to show some variation.

My comments:
Personally I think our performance went quite well however I do think we need to take more control in our movements so that the performance looks more refined. I also noticed that we all need to know exactly which side we enter and exit in each scene as in our performance there was some people who had to move around on the stage more then they should. I also think that we need to know what sound and lighting cues will be needed so that our get in will be easier and we can have more time to work on our movements then the tech stuff.
