oral





your adaptation-
-what you did
(talk about what you guys decided to cut out of the play from the story)
-changed from the original play and added to make it your own
(new parts to the play that weren't included in the play from the book)
(modernization, language that you used, seriousness of the play)
-what the message was that you were trying to give to the audience
(decisions, how hard it can be)
-(what was the vision that they had for the play) what was it supposed to look like


  1. What story you chose and why?
- story krik krak chapter night women
- night women (prostetution is the option the mother chooses to provide for her and her son)
-there are other jobs
- father to son no longer in the picture
-haiti at the time- civil issues, men vs. women roles
-good motive
-(concept of the play) about the conflict in decision making
- connects to the real world and how you can have trouble dictating what is right and wrong
-makes a good piece in theater
- connects with the audience and how good and bad can can be all in your head and you can get conflicted and frustrated.
- I figured it would be good for me to play the mother
- female character
- good at portraying real life situations
-stanislavski method (realism)


   3.  Your adaption
-the way i took on my role
- knowing i am a night women (so to speak) have to be protective over my occupation
-meaning secretive and passive in front of son
- still a mother and cares very much about sons success
- kept that the same from the story
-story in krik krak didn’t have an ending (son never finds out about what the mother does)
- does’nt show my sons side of the story / the way that he feels
-  adaptation adds the comfort of the son for the mother
- he comes to the relization that i am the only thing that he has
- wanted to communicate that my son 1. Is of age to understand that the work that i doing is not normal, and different and 2. The audience understood that all i hve is my son and all he has is me.


2.literary analysis
  • theme( decision making, and the challege between doing what is conveniant and doing what is right.
  • Character has the conflict between devil and angel
  • Magical relizm comes in with the devil and angel as real characters
  • I have a relationship with my son he is the only thing that is holding me back from making my decisions
  • Foreshadowing mainly by the conviction that i faced hearing the angell and what he was saying even tho the devil was being very vindictive.  
4.performance
  • The perfromance set was staged in the home similar to the story in krik krak
  • Role- mother I am independent single mother
  • -has to portray sad depressive emotion  related to poverty and create this world through given circumstances
  • Using stanislovski method
  • Being aware with haitian governmnet at the time i had to demonstrate the stress that i was experienceing -getting a job
  • The purpose of the monologues in the beginning and ending scenes were to do this
  • The son and me
  • Show that relationship
  • Dealing with the conflict  
Performance
  • Set stage up the same as the original play in krik krak
  • Different lighting points
    -beginning bed
    -beginning dresser
    -mystical illusion blue and red lights
    -bench smoking cigarette

  • Beds, dresser/ counter
  • Movement scene 1
  • Scene 2 &3  not a lot of movement explains
    how hard it was for me to think through my decision

This is just to say

The words that stick out to me with the sound are words like plums, icebox, delicious, sweet, and cold. I think mainly because they are feeling words and the writer probably wanted he reader to feel the words. Also in the beginning the first stanza of the poem when the writer says the plums that were in the icebox had stuck out to me because of the T sounds that I got from the poem. Also the last stanza when the writer says so sweet and so cold. The so was repeated twice to emphasize the amount of sweetness and coldness. Also the s sounds. The meaning of the poem is that whomever has eaten the plums did because of temptation and the writer is trying to have he reader feel that temptation. They didn’t really want to eat them I’m assuming but get were really hungry and they want whomever those plums were to understand the reasoning behind it. They also want to be forgiven for what they did. Some images that come to my head is like a cooler of some sort with plums in there. Only he plum...

Play review: The romeo and juliet play at the park was very interesting. We were all laid out comfortably on blankets on the grass. The play started at 8:00. It was the original shakespeare play but with a twist. It started off with the scene in the village, and then went into a scene with juliet and her mother . In between the scenes they played more modern day music which i thought was entertaining because it gave the play more of a modern feel. During the play there was singing a little through out but it was mostly a straight play. The costumes that the characters in the play wore were accurate to the time period of romeo and juliet. There was a scene in the play where they foreshadowed the death of juliet when she wore a white robe that both tybalt and mercutio wore when they died. Because the play was a romance tragedy, there were two or three scenes where romeo and juliet kissed. In the play they danced a lot as well, but to keep the play a little modern the actors were danci...
