I think us performing in the round was very different and very challenging for us because we have never done anything like it. I really think we pulled it off and did well, Although I did feel we stuck to facing more sides than others. That could just be how we set our scenes or just where the props were for us to pick up from other people.
I think it was really good for us to hold up signs for which show we was doing scenes from. Although I think it still confused some people in the audience, it helped a lot more otherwise I reckon people may have thought it was just one show.
Being so close to the audience was very nerve racking and the fact we had to sit there with a straight face and not being able to talk to anyone was very difficult as some people got confused whether we was audience or performers, some people asked the actors if the seats next to them are being used or when does it start/how long we had been there for etc. That was hard because we had to ignore them and I felt so rude at the time but it had to be done. I had my dad sit next to me in the six o'clock show and my mum sit next to me at the 8 o'clock show, I wish they didn't do it, but it was a good chance for me to challenge myself in ignoring them. The show seemed to go on really quick. I was really nervous to perform the shows but I was so excited to show it to the audience because contemporary is something I haven't done before and nobody in my family had seen me act in that way before.
I loved my scenes, my favourite was definitely the one I did with Daisy because it was so different for me, I felt like the character development was so good in that scene. I was so happy with how it went and I'm glad we changed it to me moving around more so people could see Daisy more. I felt like me and Daisy worked really well together and you could really feel the tension in that scene I felt.
I think my weakest scene was my scene with Michael in Motortown purely because I had no idea how to act Marley, I had less knowledge about Motortown even though I had read the play. I just felt like out of my three scenes, this was my weakest scene.
Overall I'm really proud of myself and everyone else and gutted that was our last show together. I am going to miss working with my group so much.
