My First Blogggggg(Lit & Perf)

My personal strength is that I have relatively more movements on stage. Even though I had two monologues when I was performing, I told myself not to forget to move around the half of the stage to enhance the performance. I tried to have eye connections with audiences and not to submerge in my own zone when I performed monologues. It is difficult that a person has too many actions when lines limit my imagination so I decided to have more communication in ending. My personal weakness is consistency and emotions. To bring up the atmosphere, the background music is not enough. If I confirm the theme and emotions for each line or each scene, I should have more certain facial expressions and tone changing during the play. Also, excluding memorization of lines on stage, I should have more fluent joins between my and her monologues. My voice should be louder and I should stretch myself on the stage.

First and foremost, I think the scripts overall of the play is not easy to understand. In order to fix this, I am going to modify my scripts by adding more information on characters' motivations for everything they are going to do. It has several advantages. It enriches the story and helps the blocking. Since audiences are not the author, they would not easily comprehend the story with vague languages and expressions so I would add more lines that explain the reason for most actions. On performance, emotions in different situations should be distinct, since they should not be identical, that help audiences to fully understand what is happening. To use a wide and big stage, we should have movements to fill the whole stage. The play contains mainly two scenes, which fortunately split the whole stage into two. In my play, two characters have relatively fewer interactions, but they have similarities in some way so two stages would probably enhance the sense of similarities. Audiences m...

Marie, in my play, has a strong desire to have a kid. However, I want to express a feeling of a positive, normal mom. To forget the impression from reading the book, we tried to change the status of both kids. There are four scenes in the play except for the ending. Since we split each character's line into two scenes, we wanted to let audiences to make an instant comparison between two mothers. It is the purity of motherhood that we want to show to audiences, because actually there are no apparent differences between them on treating kids, so two characters take turns to finish the whole play. Furthermore, we have set both characters to have a conversation in the end. The play is full of monologues, yet we can add more blocking which includes more movements, more emotions, and tones to exaggerate and to fill every monologue so that would probably help audiences to understand the play and to gain a better experience. Moreover, if we want to highlight the motherhood by comparing two...
