Drama IB year 1 blog summary

I entered drama a little bit late, but luckily i got accepted back in, and i wont regret the big mistake of changing. I have seen nicole's and matias' blogs to see more or less what we have done and now im going to do my own blog, sumarising what i hae done in the year.

ELIZABETHAN PRESENTATION:

I think that my presentation wasn't bad, but i do think i could had done it better, i reckon i didn't go deep enough with my research, and my pictures weren't as carefully selected as they should had been, but it wasn't easy to get really good pictures to go with my explanations, and i, will admit, was tired of looking for better pictures as i spent 20 to 30 minutes looking for them.

I could had used more sources, although 5 websites and 1 book was enough for me. I actually do think i could teach my subject and make other people learn what i researched about, im pretty confident about my information. But i AM DEFINITELY NOT the most brilliant in this subject.

PHYSICAL WORK:

Las friday i had my best physical work in class, at first i had many doubts about what is was for, but then i started to realise that it was acually useful to prepare for an actor. They act of Breathing and concentrating on a center of energy is something i will have to work a lot in, as i have noticed i find it more difficult as my friends in class. But i think that with enough effort i will be able to achieve this.

When we worked on our bodies and trust exercises, we changed groups to work with everyone. I found it really easy to work with my friends bodies as my strength allows me to avoid trouble in that part, but i can't say that about all my friends. 

Trust exercises are really important as they are a key factor when performing on stage. Because you are supposed to trust your body to the other actors, so there must be trust for it to work well. 

SCHOOL PLAY:

The rehearsals for the school play have started. I'm really looking forward to it, and being in the first year of IB i will have an important roll on stage. I will really have to work hard this year to do my best.
 

Although the last week we didn't work much on the play, we are going from this week, as until last week we were still waiting for new people that wanted to come to the play. 

I hope we manage to make a better play than next year, because there is no point in getting worse, we have got to get better each year.
