On Tuesday the 23rd of November, The Drama lesson was very interesting. The learning objectives were to 'Participate in a series of relaxation exercises' Also 'Develop an understanding of why it is important for an actor to relax' and also 'Why trust is important in performances'.
I learnt that trust and relaxation is important in acting, for example 'Trust' is important when acting in a stunt or particular scene, where trust is needed to be able to co-operate with the other actor or actress. For example 'Relaxation' is important because stress may be caused and this can cause a problem because it will affect the actor or actresses career or mental health.
During the two lessons, we also did some excercises on creativity. As a group (Tia, Georgee, Suleman, Mohammed, Shakeel and Connor) we had to create a story and also characters based on a particular crime. This performance will be assessed and performed infront of an audience. Our story is about a kidnapping of elderly man, whom is innocent and was sitting in his home, watching TV as normal when 3 men come barging through his window and kidnap him. The police are alerted by the man hitting the 'Emergency Button' for the elderly before being dragged away. [Characters mentioned in newer entries]
We also did a mind map on things in our devised performance such as explorative strategies, storyline and the performance. Every lesson up until the dated performance we will work on the devised piece in our groups. This will be interesting for me because i will be able to see how team work is shown in my group and i can also learn many new things about being co-operative with others.
In our group, we have made new decisions about scenes, layout and characteristics of the emotions in our acting. We easily develop our characters by expressing the character in our vocal and movement skills and also by using imagination to feel how the character's personality would be, especially on the topic type.
