In my opinion I think our scratch performance yesterday was successful as our teacher said the our site literally looked like a ruin, like a place that no one would want to be in. I think the use of old school music was good as it gave a dull kind of atmosphere. Also I think that that use of pictures was interesting to show the audience the previous lives of the characters. I also think the audience found the physical theatre scene between me and Frank interesting; however our teacher thought that this was a bit too much for our performance. He wasn’t just saying that section that we did was too much, he was saying that the overall acting was a bit too much; he believes that the audience should have had their own different experiences of our site instead of us as actors trying to guide them through that experience. So for next time we need less dialogue between and let the audience see what our site has to offer. This means we should focus on the key bits of our site like what they are listening to, what are reading, anything that they might touch or pick up. I think we need to discuss as a group what me might include or improve in our site to progress further.
To improve on our feedback we want to focus on:
- Showing the characters living within the space
- Allowing the space to tell its own story to the audience
- Teach the audience the past lives of each character through the use of multimedia e.g - An information booklet and an audio recording.
- Take the audience on a journey e.g - Running through the space rummaging through a bag to interest the audience and take them around the space we have created
- Make the props more relevant to one specific topic e.g - Drugs - Needles, spoons, smoking
