Show Day!
The day began with us all coming in a getting into our black/white t-shirts and sorting gout hair and make up etc. You could feel all the excitement and nerves flowing through the room like a massive invisible breeze, some of us looking threw cues, going back over lines and some doing all these at once.
We all came together and quickly ran threw sections 5-7, which surprisingly ran quite smoothly. After that we then individually took our journey threw the play step by step moving where we were ment to be moving sitting in correct places and going threw lines and cues at the same time.
Following that Devan and Ashley ran a warm up session including the games Zip Zap Bong, Bang and a characterisation game.
11:30am performance
As the year 10's were entering you could feel the first performance nerves kicking in for everyone and all eyes were now on us. Kezia and Ruby kicked off the show with secret which was great and it just felt it got better from there. Not only was we performing this for the first time in front of an audience but it was theatre student we were trying to impress with our abstract play .
When we had finished you could feel a slight sigh of relief in the room.
It was time for our feed back. Us as a group and Mr. Crowther were astonished and amazed by the compliments and constructive criticism that the year 10's made. comments like 'You made a confusing play look naturalistic.' and 'Tighten up the transitions.'
With all this positive feedback we were all buzzing for that nights performances.
5:00pm performance
I feel for me this was my personal best. I got my cues and lines correct with no mistakes and I loved the atmosphere that the audience brought to our 5:00 show.
7:00pm performance
I thought this performance went okay but not as well as the first. All of our energy's were high standard and cues were on point, but I felt a few of us just went mind blank a few times threw the course of that show.
After all the performances were finished it you could feel the air in the room cool down a bit and everyone started to go back to normal and feel a bit more relaxed.
Overall, I am very glad we had the chance of performing Caryl Churchill's play, Love And Information. I Enjoyed every moment of it, from when we first herd of it and doing a bit of research and reading of the play to actually performing it in front of our peers and family.
