The exam is overrrr~~~~
I felt that i fared not too badly.
This will be a quick evaluation as I will hear more from Mrs Kamal in the weeks to come.
My lines lost it's humour when i emoted them differently. Especially the quotations. What made my friends roar with laughter caused the audiene to reciprocate silence. I guess sometimes its a choice to make between feelings and dramatic effect. I failed to find a balance between the two and as a result, the play lost its humour.
The music was also not loud enough and the mad negative energy failed to fill the space and the madness scene came about weaker than it should have been. I felt my performance lost it's glaring impact there. Nonetheless, the scene still went smoothly.
It was good, but it could have been much better.
I felt my emotions coming through during the piece. I digested what Mrs Kamal said the last time about letting the feelings take control and i made a conscious effort to feel for my lines (especially since it's devised, it wasnt very difficult) and i felt that the effort pulled through and it boosted my performance quite abit.
The set design worked wonders. There were many comments from people saying that they loved my set and that it contributed greatly to my performance as it denoted the space as a surreal world and gave a clear insight to my character. this was a plus plus point as it showed my set achieved it's effect.
When I ask my audience for the message of my performance, they are able to tell me that it is about "dreams not coming true" or about "dreams being shattered". It shows that the devising and the lines have achieved the desired effect on the audience. When asked about my character, the words "nerd" and "workaholic" surfaced, showing that my character work did help.
Overall, i'm satisfied with my performance! More evaluation next time i guess. :D
