Improvisation And Movement
Drama
Day 11
Improvisation and Movement After we performed our performance, we notice some minor but key error to improve on. A prominent error that I noticed in our performance was that some of the timing was off through out the entirety of the play. Also, I also noticed that we still did not know all our lines completely especially during the singing parts. To work on eliminating these mistakes, we realized more practice and rehearsal was just needed. Through practicing and rehearsing outside of class we worked on the errors and they were virtually gone. We all memorized our lines completely with a still few spaces left for improvisation during our performance, such as when Kim ask Luke if he wants tap or bottled water and he can say what he suites best at the moment and also in the ending scene where we are all saying our decision and we all have a bit of room for some improvisation and say what we suite best to say at the moment. Moreover, we also started to think about adding more movement to our performance. Something that was already done in our rough draft was snapping our fingers during Kim’s contemplation scene. We were starting to think of adding some kind of movement to all of the contemplation scenes. By the end of the week we decided to be the chorus during Olivia’s contemplation scene and bang our hand on our chairs. This way every character will be doing something instead of what it was previously where everybody but Olivia, Stan, and Josh would have been frozen. This was the main goal from then on: to incorporate some type of additional movement in all of the scenes.
Creative Flow of Movements
In continuation from last week, we are still trying to incorporate additional movement into our performance as research project. With the help of Shuyler, we were able to accomplish this task. He started to get the ideas flowing and we came together and developed movement for each scene. For the with Olivia’s contemplation, instead of banging on the
