Personal draft

I find the world of Acting a very fascinating place of work,as we get to take on different role,jobs and challenges each day.Whenever,I perform on stage or have a different task to do I feel like I always grow as a person and i'm able to see a difference in my work as I make progress through my skills.Creativity could be one of the words I would put my image of Acting as because of my experience at my college I was able to open up new pathways and expand my horizons, such as;Have the chance to work with a company called 'The broken Heart Youth Theatre' which showed me the real side of Film making,Film Acting because the difference between theatre works and being on set is very different.I was able to see this by getting an extraordinary offer from my college to audition for a role of 'extra' in a short film and work with the company for around 10 days.This was one of
 the best opportunities I received as I was able to see the difference which allowed me to open my paths.Throughout the time being a work in progress actor I was able to learn difference skills such as Team work and responsibilities. For example, by working with the people around me I was able to improve the skill of being a team player as I learnt how to help people whenever they struggle with stressful times or have trouble working around a problem,which then made me open my eyes and see that by working together you will have a greater chance at succeeding at certain parts of life.I think I have improved as a team leader, as I am now able to notice people who are in pain or struggling on a problem and be able to try and help them to resolve it therefore I think teamwork is a very important skill to earn in life.Some of the plays I performed were Oedipus,Macbeth,The cherry Orchard these plays were a big part of my acting career as these are the starting plays I performed in my acting life, which have tough me the starting skills of my education in 'performing arts'.Some of the skills these plays helped me develop were Confidence,Articulation and changing the volume of my voice.I have improved on confidence because I am now able to stand up with a variety of volumes of voices and scream,shout or even fall over without feeling shy ,therefore my confidence has improved as I am able to stand up in front of an audience and communicate as if no-one was in front of me which I believe is a brilliant skill to have in the world of acting.One of my hobbies is football as it's a really active sport but not only do you go around kicking the ball but you get to be put up to different challenges such as innovative,thinking before a move just like in acting where you have to think before you say something and how you produce that move to make the the audience notice you.I am interested in proceeding with the course of performing arts as I am passionate about meeting new challenges and digging deeper into a career that could create an affect on the world.For example, creating a piece that would prevent problems such as knife crime or racism,I would do this by using the skills of teamwork by working with youths so that they get a chance at a career they might be passionate about.

Unit 8-Rehearsals

Rehearsals Throughout the 4/5 weeks some of the skills I developed were communication, leadership, ideas towards the project and being able to put the creativity into my piece. For example, during rehearsals of one of my scenes 'Stone', I contributed towards the set of the scene and the angle we should be facing when on stage. I said that we should face at a 90 degree angle towards the audience whilst sitting on the bench because it would be more creative. Furthermore, with the 90 degree perspective angle, the audience have a clear view of the actors facial expressions portraying the strong emotions emerging. Also, this idea would work better for our scene because the person we were bullying was standing in the top right of the stage. The development of skills was amazing because as we processed through unit 8 I was able to see the development from a third person view by my teachers giving me constant feedback. I developed leadership by making sure people are in clas...

Unit 8-Evaluation

Evaluation Firstly, I think progressing through unit 8, most things covered in the proposal were improved and touched on. In my performance there were many positive moments where the actors would get a shocked reaction from the audience, specifically in 'Flashback' when my partner Taylor gave a sudden reaction of loud gasping.The audience would have been surprised by the loud volume of voice used in the scene.However, there were negative patches in the performance when for example, we had mistakes such as forgetting lines or gaps in scenes, one memorable moment was when a member of my team forgot their lines during a scene and had to improvise by adding extra dialogue. From the experience and development of the play, personally I really liked the pieces because it allowed us as actors to be able to be 'open-minded' and our individual creativity. Therefore, this allowed me to develop on some skills such as confidence where previously I struggled. In contrast, I would ...

Unit 8-Context

Context Caryl Churchill was born on  3 September 1938, (80 years old to current date). Churchill is a well known worldwide play writer that focuses on society changes and equality.  S he takes extra time to make the society understand how women are important and understandable beings. That is why she  also acts as a human rights activist. To date,  Caryl   Churchill  is still known as one of the remarkable writers that are widely accepted by all ages. The idea of Churchill focusing on different problems around the world allows us as actors to see different perspectives of writers, which allows us to have a easier knowledge whilst devising her plays.Through the research on Caryl Churchill I was able to see the different sides of interpretations she showed whilst writing plays. For example,'Top girls' is a play which was written in 1982, it was targeted around the area of feminism and politics. Although, Churchill would write her plays...
