reflection on play 200w

I think a major strength was being able to feed off of Ivan and jack and remembering the lines that I was supposed to. we didn't really practice the movements as much but I think I did well at using the time in the beginning of the scene very wisely. I danced around with the broom, I fixed my jewelry on the table, and used a lot of blocking to make the scene longer. I also did well at showing emotion when it was me and the sons scene. I made sure that I was acting as if I was having a hard conversation, which I was. some things that I can work on can be using more frustration when it comes to picking a side and being stuck in my head. I think I didn't show my anger enough and show that it was bothering me that I had to make a decision. speaking up for the most part was good but during my monologue I could have been more confident and louder when I was speaking. we practiced me screaming "shut up" when I say "both of you just SHUT UP he is right there I need to ma...

best way to perform your scene

What is the beat way to perform your scene.... The best way to perform our scene is for me to really show the struggle between the devil and angel. the devil is feeding me information on what I should do and the angel is also feeding me information and I have to show that the conflict is really with choosing a side and choosing what I want to do. in the end I choose the angel, but I had a major conviction when the door was knocked on. the audience will be able to connect to the feeling of conviction, and not knowing which way to go, but my character chooses the angel because she realizes that she only cares about her son, and he is the only thing that matters. the main thing that will make my scene so effective is the lack of foreshadowing. this element keeps the story going, and makes it more interesting to view. Mainly because you don't know which side i really am going to choose. a way that i express that i am so stuck between what to do, is when i say "i am stuck bet...

Blog post due -- what do you need to revise on your drafts to show more clarity, conviction, commitment, emotion, and overall strengthen your performance. Be specific on what you need to revise and why. 300 words.  the best way to perform and revise my draft will be to make sure that we have connection. in the play there really are only two characters, the son and the night woman, but the angel and devil are more of a consperisy. they are not really there but they are in the night woman's head. the night woman is fighting with her thoughts and so to have connection between both of them it will make it clear that they are truly in her head and she cant make a decision because she feels both ways are right. as far as clarity i think it will clear up the plot and make it easier to follow and understand, if my character acts as if they aren't there (which they aren't technically). a way i can do this in my draft is kind of walk around them as if they aren't there and, ta...

uta hagen 9 questions

uta hagens 9 questions 1. who am I who is your character I am a mother who's name is anonymous. I am a Haitian woman so I am most likely black skinned. the only relatives that are present in the play is my son who's name is also anonymous. I am stuck between the devil and god. in the play I m in conflict with myself and my actions whether I want to be a night woman, or a day woman. I am afraid of my son finding out that I am currently selling my body to men, because he is getting older and I want to be a good example for him, and he soon will realize what I do. I believe in my sons education and that education will be the platform to being successful. 2. what time is it It is currently spring because I casually will spring clean and my son is still in school so it isn't summer. In Haiti right now there still is a racial divide. especially in the work place. black Haitians (Haitian women) are not allowed to work in well paying jobs. they are in low paying jobs and there...
