My thoughts on the overall piece is that we did really well as a company considering the short time period in which we devised and created, however that the whole pefromance could have been tighter and alot of rookie mistakes that were easy to avoid could have been avoided. Such as looking behind the curtains and speaking when behind stage. Overall I am pleased with my own performance and the performances is everybody else but I think that th next performance will be even better.
I think that our audience would think that we did well for a first perfomance bu that it could have been better than it was.
I think that our piece was good and percieved the message we was telling across very well. However i think that we could of had more focus as a whole, less fidgeting ect.
I think that the lights I.e the black outs between scenes and at the begining and the end of the performance, the flashing lights to represent thunder and lightning and the low lights throughout the performance and plain set really helped to set the tone throughout the performance. Our studio blacks I.e black trouser, tops and shoes also helped to keep the attention off of what we were wearing and more on the message we were trying to convey to our audience about sustainability.
I think that our performance was good for a first performance as a company however I believe that it could have been a lot better. I believe that we could have made a lot less noise backstage and this was something that we could have easily done but failed to. As was mentioned by a memeber of our audience when giving feedback you can hear a pin drop backstage so its extremly important to not make any noise when backstage as this distracts from what is happening on stage at the current time.
I believe that the proffessionalism of the company could have been better but overall wasnt that worst apart from fidgeting at certain points in the show and the noise made backstage. I dont think that we were dreadful in our proffessionalism as a company but there is definitely room for improvement.
The following video is our performance.
We recieved a mixed feedback from the performance. The general feedback was that it was a good first performance however there is room for improvement such as making noise behind the curtains as is stated before. Fidgeting on stage for example having hands in pockets not standing up straight looking at the front where we should be. Having more confidence in our own performances for example if you forget a line or mess up to carry on and act as if you havnt because know one would know you have messed up unless you have made it obvious you have messed up. To project when speaking on stage as it can be hard to hear what someone is saying when on stage let alone with background music, maybe dancing or some typeof movement from other performers or even yourself if your are speaking and walking for example. To project and pronounciate so that even if you were at the back of the stage somebody by the doors should be able to still hear you. To have more confidence in ourselfs (fake it until you make it). To make sure that you i are in count with other performers during dance routines, to know your counts as to be able to make dance routines as clean as possible.
We also had positve feedback such as that we had focus throughout our performance and that we conveyed emotion through our performance.
Below is a video of the feedback.
