‘ROAD’ – Performance Week
Monday 11th,
Wednesday 13th and Thursday 14th May 2015
Final rehearsals
As the performance week began, we
instantly proceeded into the rehearsals of ‘ROAD’. Both the tech runs and start to finish
rehearsals, I found, were extremely successful.
I personally found that it embraced our final understanding and visual elements
of the production. The tech run helped
me to get a better theatrical vision of ‘ROAD’.
Plus the start to finish rehearsals helped me to conclude how this production
is more intriguing than its script.
Final observational
feedback
My performance role (‘Jerry’) had layers
of detail and character information stored into a monologue therefore I felt a
slight desperate need to bring the character to life with good and accurate
intention. Therefore I took every
observational feedback note as an opportunity to improve. Key feedback notes I received were:
·
Visualise, reminisce,
and act out his past –
that way there is a sense of likability within his characteristics and show
that this elderly character isn’t meaningless in this production.
·
Remember to change
vocal pitch variations – I found this a really essential performance feedback
note, because it would allow me to vocally bring the character to life and have
no similarities to my own vocal variations.
Only then will the audience see ‘Jerry’ not an actor.
·
Great delivery,
physically and vocally, of the character’s traits – A positive
feedback note that really helped my confidence with this performance.
The main
performance
I was extremely pleased with the end
result of our performance of ‘ROAD’. I
was pleased with our ensemble presentation of ‘ROAD’ and its characters. Plus I was very pleased with my presentation
of ‘Jerry’.
Full performance evaluation to be posted soon.
