week 1
•I learned about the history of st Georges hall and that Charles dickens visited it and made a speech I also learned my role in the opening introduction scene where I portrayed a playful Victorian boy throwing snowballs and being mischievous
• I really engaged myself in the lesson and I really learnt so much about the history of st Georges hall and its impact on Victorian peoples’ lives.
• I feel I could’ve been better on my timings for example I would sometimes not be focused when its my time to perform
• I will use the information I’ve learned in the Christmas carol performance and use this to sculpt my character and help my classmates with the play overall
•This will help me in the future as I learnt a lot about how you need to research about the people and conditions so that you can portray that character and play as it would be in that era or time
• My research influenced my work as I knew exactly how to act and behave as I know how poor Victorian children acted what conditions they were in.

week3
•This week we rehearsed our introduction scene and learned our movement sequence in the play we also practised dancing with a partner
•feel like everyone was enthusiastic and really up for it this week as everyone was getting involved and sharing ideas for the intro scene
•I feel like I could’ve been a lot more confident this week as I felt I was out of my comfort zone especially with the dancing with a partner as this was quite awkward at times
•I’m going to use everything I have learned and experience this week to improve on aspects of myself mainly my confidence
•This is going to help me in the future as I think I learned a valuable lesson this week which is to be more comfortable doing new things
•My researched has influenced me as now I know how to behave during certain scenes
week 4
• This week we started to perform all the scenes and get props ready and costume’s we also got assessed by our peers
•I think everything went well we got through the scenes with efficiency as everybody had been preparing their lines.
•I feel like I could’ve payed more attention on when to perform certain things
•I will use this to guide myself into becoming a better performer
•This will help me in the future for any roles or performances I may be apart
•My research came in handy as I knew which costumes to buy as I already knew what Victorians wore so it was very easy
week 5
•The final week started with costume and make up rehearsals and just going through our lines at the end of the week we performed our play in front of family and friends.
•I feel like everyone did their part to perfection and everyone tried their best with costumes and make up not only that I think I did a good job portraying my character the coachman
•I feel like I could’ve focused and played attention during rehearsal as I didn’t know when to come in and when to leave and it was very uncomfortable for me
•I will use this experience to better myself as a performer and do better in the next project
•This will help me in future performances and future roles as I know I know what I need to do to make sure everything is up to scratch
•All my research combined has helped me with every aspect of this project as I had a costume that was relevant to that period I knew how to speak and perform like I was in the Victorian era
