Last Friday during plotting summary and choosing characters, I and my groupmates thought that ‘Fences’ reveals boundary or barrier between people, and being in a mentally isolated state. So we made our main character ‘Theo’ as a teenager boy who was really depressed, isolated from others, and anti-socialized because of the past trauma, which his father had died past few years ago. After we performed in class today, I felt I had few improvements that I should work on next time.
As a group, I thought we did a great job. It was a great idea the way we staged in the black box; Josh and I were staying back at the backstage and came in from different direction so that audience could fully focus on the main character, and clearly see the confliction between the characters and Theo’s consciousness. Also audience could easily understand our story development since the plot was pretty simple and it contained a strong climax, and the confliction between Theo and his mother was shown clearly. Furthermore, we did well on
appealing character's emotions through using different voice tones and facial expressions. In contrast, there was one thing that we had to fix, which was our resolution part of the plot. We ended the story without adding many stories after the climax; in order to make the plot flows naturally and make the strong ending, we had to add more dialogues in the falling action part.
I realized I had few things to improve for my better performance. The biggest mistake that I made today was that I was not talking toward the audience. Actually I couldn’t realize until the end of the show that audience could barely hear my voice and couldn’t see my face. After I knew that audience could not even see my facial expressions, I decided to change my position to sit next to Ivan and face front to the audience during my next performance. Additionally, I had another mistake that I started to laugh in the serious scene. After it happened, I learned that I should control myself to be more calmed and relaxed during the whole time of performing.
Through today performance during class and reading comments I got from my classmates, I have learned I should more communicate with audience while acting. I should face toward them, say the dialogue louder so that exactly hear what I am saying.
