Unit 9 Pa Ubu

During our lesson with Shiena as she introduced to a play Pa Ubu. we all sat down in circle as Shiena gave us a part to read. She gave me Ma Ubu to read and Immediately connected with this character. The play is wacky and different as I never read a play so hectic as I had to read the play a few times at to understand what was happening. However, because the play was so different to others I am eager to learn more about this play.
I felt like there was many unnecessary character in play and instead having 'All' saying the lines together it should just be one as it will make it less childish. Though it was not childish with the mature language I felt that having more then one character speak the same lines brought the play down.

We added a cockney accent to help us feel the measures of the character this helped us get into the motion of playing out Gus and Ben. Downside on stage I had forgotten my lines. I improvised on stage to act it out as natural. I had picked up this method with o...

Identity

For my introductory lesson which was led by Rob, we had an engaging ice-breaker which specifically allowed me to get to know the people I was going to be working with throughout my course. I strongly believe team chemistry plays a huge part in Performing Arts and this lessson enabled that key factor which would also allow us to lead to great accomplishments and success.   We began by getting into partners; I partnered up with Kamilie and we had to construct an improvised piece based on the lines given to us which were "Excuse me...".  Level 2 "Identity" Evaluation on performances; Throughout the production, I believe we all felt anxious about performing all together in front of a audience; nevertheless for our first performance I am convinced we did extremely well.  I started off with the opening line and projected my voice loud and clear giving the audience eye contact so they felt engaged. The performance Dani, Altin, Ellie and myself came up with was about ...
