Performance+Reflection

I think that our performance was pretty well done considering the small amount of time due to Kyu’s trip to Guam and Justin’s sickness. Just to mention I am not blaming them for the imperfect quality of the play. We expressed our theme by using accents, costumes and changing some of the words. However I think our group failed in the terms of setting the stages and the pose they should take. THis is quite embarrassing to say this myself but I contributed to the group as a leader. I set the times and the schedule for practice gave instructions and kind of acted like the director. I felt responsible and tried to contribute more to the group since I did not have many lines. I thought that I should cover up the parts that my group members are missing so they can concentrate on their own lines. I think we should have more concentrated on the stage setting of the play. The characters’ positions and the background items. We borrowed and used the items such as scarfs and wigs in our play to give some sign that we are an Arab family. Basically we set our characters’ emotions and quotes like what we thought it would be like. But I noticed some sarcastic sense and some parts where the Capulet is acting like he is joking. It was interesting since I only thought he was shouting. ACTUALLY, I RECOGNIZED THAT YOU SEEMED TO HAVE A LEADER POSITION. SOMETIMES IT IS EMBARRASSING TO POINT THESE THINGS OUT, BUT OFTEN WE NEED TO SELF-ADVOCATE. DECENT REFLECTION --5/5
