Proposal
Skills Audit
Over the course I have made a lot of progress. In terms of as a performer, and also as a person. In this skills audit I shall be including the skills I have gained through the progression of this course. Throughout this course I have developed skills I already had and also learnt new skills that will help me in the future. Some of the skills I have learnt is being able to have a dynamic stage presence, being able to adapt to a stage mistake and also being able to stage a production in the first steps before performing it. Firstly with staging a production you have to think about how it will look for the audience, if at any time in the performance there is an unbalance in the stage then you need to make it so that it doesn't happen because it can effect the aesthetics of the production, so that is one of the new skills that I learnt. Another new skill that I learnt is dynamic stage presence. This skill helps when it comes to claiming the stage when in character and being able to not be lost on stage.
Project concept
With this project I want to perform the play 'Waiting For Godot'. I am going to make sure that I complete research that helps me with the context of the play for example with the time period of when Samuel Beckett wrote this play was very influential in the style it was wrote so I would include that in my research and it will also help me understand certain things that I maybe didn't understand at first. In terms of the production I'm hoping to make sure that even when cutting down the production to a suitable length I still make sure that the key elements of the story are still included and make sure the true meaning of the play isn't lost. I'm also going to research the play in terms of costume and character development to see how my character; Estragon, is portrayed by a different actor and also the costume choices in different production will evidently effect the choices that I make when choosing how to dress my character. This will effect the performance as it will show to the audience our representation of these characters and also making sure that they go well together otherwise the satisfaction of watching a culturally correct production goes away as the audience will be asking questions that don't link to the acting but to the costumes and production value.
Evaluate
- To help evaluate my performance I will make sure to self reflect at every chance I get.
- Make sure that I ask my peers what I can do better to make the experience better for them
- A Diary will help make sure I keep all the steps of the process noted down so that I will remember them for later use
- A Self evaluation will help me figure out what I need to improve on personally to make me a better performer.
- An audience survey also helps me to widen the range of my peer assessment stretching to friends and family but also making sure that the assessment is not bias.
