My last performance !

As we just finished so many times for performance work, and the whole long year, we finally step into the final project, that last performance that I may do as the last one. It is kind of sad, so I decided to try to make the last one better. Yesterday we just did the first draft videoing the scenes that we had. Well, to be honest, the first draft was not quiet good. I forgot one line of my scripts, and my partner Ben did the same thing as me. The things that I did well I guess was just about the performing skills. Because I have been worked on performance work a lot of times, and that helps for my experience. The most important one, and which I am proud of myself about is I have been worked on the drama comedy tonight in front of the audiences from all school even some of them are from the town of Cheshire. That is the biggest part, it is not about psychical skills because I did not play for some important roles, but I gained and learned a lot. At least, I am no longer scared or shy in front of one hundred audiences. The thing that I did not do well on, or the group did not do well on is the script itself. Because our story is directly from an Indian movie, and the story line is too complicated for the audiences to understand, especially the size and length of the play is limited, so that we have to cut a lot of stuff which is hard to make the plot reliable and understandable. Another thing is that we are not "professional", or not even attend average level for writing scripts. We definitely can not compete with the "student production" scripts that we did for the summer season drama. The another part is that we did a lot of flash backs.  Due to students from the same class but different periods, they told me that they had  that kind of problem before - made the play more hard to understand or misleading happening. The scenes changing from current time and flash backs are hard to control and make it understandable. Maybe it is because of the black out and custom changing were not projected during the first draft. But still, that is still the most important problems that we are having right now. For me, personally I think I still have to work on my lines delivering, facial expressions and give more impression to the audiences. For most important part, I have to be connected with the emotion from the scenes of scripts. That is also what my English teacher gave me for notes for.For the other groups, I guess who does not have the same problem that we are having right now are fine. Their script are well produced, and their participation are great. I am interested to see more of those group works, that may help us a lot in order to improve our quality.
