Site specific – Week 7 Evaluation

This week we performed our piece of site specific. We meet before the lesson as last week, we focused on the risk assessment. We knew what we were doing, but we all needed to come up with scripts for our own characters. We had a couple of run through which went really well, so that gave us the confidence to perform our piece.

We performed our piece twice, which meant we had two sets of audiences. I felt that the first performance was as good as the second one, which I feel could be an achievement I perform with the same convictions and energy. The reason I felt the performance were the same was that I made mistakes in both performance, but for different reason. The first reason was I was really getting in to  my character, as soon as I started thinking about the people in front of me as well as what I was saying I started to stumble but I seem to get it back on track. The second reason I stumble was around the same problem but I looked up at the wrong time and saw I was being filmed, which that meant I started to think about my character too much.


My script was very good as I felt I had all the information that worked in the performance. I wanted to find information that work in the piece as it was about a parent's evening, I wanted to find information for not only the benefits of the site but that was relevant to a class and children of the 1800s. I found a website online that give me lots of information about schools in the 1800s century. Here is the website: http://primaryhomeworkhelp.co.uk/victorians/children/schools.htm . I find it fascinating that there so many things that were different, researching it was fun and helpful.
