End of East End Tales Evaluation

On Thursday, we did a rehearsal for most of the day.  We talked on how we should improve for the show on the night. We talked about our 3 things we hope to achieve at the end of the night. I said, Remember my lines, Focus, and of course have fun. We all wanted it to pay off for all the hard work and it did. We spent weeks on focusing on the play itself and then later on we started to pick it up by the feet.    It was important for us to know  the small bits in our play. How we moved the stools and our facial expressions which makes our play better for us and the audience watching.  

Working on the Script was fairly hard as we weren't use to the dialogue.  It was a poem like play which made me a bit worried on how the play will go down. But Miss Goodall made it into  a more enjoyable play to learn and perform than how it was written.  From what I can remember, I learnt my lines pretty quickly however when I should go on and myqueues  was tricky so I needed the script for that purpose. 

 

The Show: 

We had around three shows, 1.  To the Post 16. They gave us advice on how to speak clearly when saying lines. And  when it came to the play I took that on board.  The Second Show we performed at 5pm to parents and peers. That was such a good feeling when they clapped at the end and had smiles on they faces at funny scenes and more sad-like faces when the dark scenes came on which as actors we liked to see that.   The next and last show was the big one. My mum was there so I felt to perform my heart out  one last time. When Miss Goodall said this would be the last time we performed EET together as a company It really hit me hard and the energy in the room  lifted once again and we all came together as a family to wrap up the evening.
