Giving Feedback

For one of the activities in class we had to create a scene using only sounds, movements and occasional words. The image shown is a picture of my script when I was planning my group's performance. In the lesson, we gave feedback to our peers on their performances.
I enjoyed watching Nansi Love and her group perform their piece to the class. It was very dramatic and they all portrayed East End characters very well.
Many of the sounds used were very effective. For example, Thiago hit a pair of shoes against a chair repetitively to emphasize the footsteps that Nansi was making. It made it sound like the echo of a footstep under a bridge, which are very common in London and the East End.
During their scene, some effective movements were also used. I liked it when everyone crowded around Nansi to make it look like she had no escape from what she was running away from. You could feel all of the emotions that were in the scene, many of the characters had very good facial expressions, especially when Nansi screamed.
Towards the end of the performance, it became slightly humourous when the police got involved. In theatre you need to make sure you are adding in humour at the right time and I feel as though this scene could have been a lot more serious and dramatic.
Some of the groups were quite similar. For example, many people included a scream or used the activity we did in class earlier to create sounds for the weather.
In most performances in our class, the sounds and movements help to set the scene, rather than tell a story. Therefore, reading through the script and performing using sounds and movements are both very different and can be used for different reasons.
