Evaluation Of Our Performance

I feel like our performance went quite well, considering we had to teach the last bit to Jack quickly and Emily was missing from our group.

I thought our piece was going to be very good because we had worked hard on it and had come up with a solid idea that was inspired by our strong stimulus. I thought that our piece would go really well and I was excited to perform it to a large audience, as I wanted to see how they would react to our piece and how it would make them feel.

I was a bit annoyed that only two people turned up to watch it, along with the teachers, because I was really looking forward to having a larger audience and it felt like we were just doing another run-through. I also think that at the beginning, I turned around a little too quickly to start the, "Have you seen my mummy?" part because the teacher's weren't really settled. So if I could do it again, I think I would leave it a bit longer before I start the piece, to create more of an atmosphere.

I think we mainly thought of all the problems we might have faced, but I don't think we realised how cold it was going to be, but we managed to perform through the snow! The audience  reacted well to our piece and seemed to get involved, I think the two girls who came to watch it felt a little intimidated because there were only two of them and they weren't as able to get into it as they might have done, had there been more people.

I felt I managed to feel emotional in our piece, so my performance seemed more real to me, but I think if we had a bigger audience, I would have fed off their reactions, which might have given me a better performance. I need the adrenaline of performing to an audience to really be able to access my emotions.

I thought overall, our performance went quite well. It could have been a lot better if we had all the audience there and if we had all of our performers, however despite this - and the freezing weather - I think we managed to achieve an interesting, thought-provoking piece of site responsive theatre that effectively responded to our site and our stimulus.
