Feedback on first draft
Grace and I are acting out scenes from the play, The Glass Menagerie. Over the past two weeks, my class has been preparing and memorizing our lines to perform for our first draft. Grace and I performed last Thursday in front of our class. I thought Grace and I were both prepared very well and new most of our lines. Many of my classmates agreed that I needed to block a bit more for the final draft. Many people liked the fake cigarette that I brought in because Tom is a heavy smoker. Maybe when I am done with my cigarette I throw it away. It felt kinda awkward in the beginning cause we did not really practice the blocking on stage. We both felt that memorizing our lines was key and had to be done first then getting used to the blocking. Any ways, I felt that my classmates gave me good hints and information from there perspective about how they felt with our performance. For myself I feel I can be more confident and show more emotion when I am in a fight with Amanda. It was also kind of awkward when Grace and I were very far apart when we were sitting. Many say I should add more emotion to the angry scene. When standing at the fire escape Amanda and Tom aren't very close so I feel Grace and I should be separated a bit more than close. I need to work on my emotion the most cause it really sets the seen whether I am angry or annoyed at Amanda. When I move it shows more purpose than being stuck in the corner awkwardly. I agree that I stayed in the same spot a lot of the times and need to move around. Not to use the cigarette to much as it causes distraction to the crowd as Amanda is speaking to me. In all, I feel I have stuff to work on but the feedback and techniques will help me improve for the final draft at the end of this week.
