Variety Show Practice Run

On the day of the Variety Show practice run, I had to prepare some of my piece to show some teachers and the rest of my class, what I had to offer to the show. We had a running order and I went third, I was a bit nervous because I didn’t know most of my lines, although at this point I didn’t need to,however I hadn’t practice as much with my mentor as much as I felt other mentees had with theres, so I was quite hesistant. I used Zaynab as a prop to represent the mother in my piece,  because in the monologue my character voices her views to her mother and her mother silently listened. After my performance I got feedback from Katy and Jo and they said that my piece was strong and very interesting, however I need to work on using levels in my tone and really playing about with how I deliver some lines so it doesn’t appear in one tone. So now I know how I am going to improve my monologue and a goal for myself is to block my piece, so that I vary my movement and so that I am not hesitating with where I am standing when I am saying things. By doing this I will be more confident in what I am doing and delivering my lines and the audience will engage and believe in my performance more.
