Monday 11th of September. This was my first full day at college with both years in the theatre. Since it was only our first day we only did a few small activities one of which was a word association game. We did this as it helped us think quickly under intense situations, which we will need for our performance in The Globe. After this we did a whole group freeze frame of a pirate ship to test our ability to stay in character. As well as this we all got into groups and wrote down our rules and expectations of the course. Finally, at the end of the day we all wrote down our skills that could come in handy for our different shows. Tuesday 12th of September. On my second day we were all in the dance studio where we met Tom the singing teacher for the first time. He taught us how to best use our voice and how not to strain it when singing. During this we did vocal exercises to warm up our voices before we got to the end of the day. After some warm u...
This show marks the end of my journey of my second year at Stockton Riverside College, and I believe that it really has shown how much I have grown as an actor over my two years at this college, with Mr Harvey being my most challenging role I've taken on. Every role I have performed at this college has given me a unique opportunity, stretching me in all sorts of different ways, and ending on such a interesting character truly encapsulates my journey. During the rehearsal process, I spent it trying to get into the headspace of Mr Harvey, as obviously he is a character I share no similarities with, so the research I did for this character really helped me bring him to life. For this performance, I had a few goals I wanted to achieve by the end of it, the main one being to successfully portray the pure remorseless and sadistic nature of Mr Harvey, really creeping out the audience with how I acted him out. For this I really put thought into every action I did o...
For part of Unit 11, we had to focus on doing a duologue, which was chosen from the musical "Dear Evan Hansen". Me and Layla chose to be partners as the scene depicted Evan and his mother during an "argument". Part 1: In this scene, Evan is confronted by his mother for always sneaking out under the excuse of him staying at his friends, however he fires back during the argument, believing she doesn't spend enough time with him. This takes place in their living room after Evans lies were revealed to Heidi, his mother, showing moments of anger between the mother and son. Heidi intends to get Evan to explain why he snuck out to see another family, and is hurt by his actions and tries to convey that to him, however, Evan doesn't want to hear what his mothers saying, so eventually lashes out and purposely says things he knows will hurt her. This is a very emotional scene as Heidi is very clear on her opinions about the situation, where as it seems Evan struggl...
