Self+Evaluation-play

Evaluate the performance of your group. What went well? What didn’t go well? I have brought my prop and everyone else brought their prop. I brought my red pajamas and striped top wear to show the evening-time. Sarah Bock brought a hairband, Michelle Oh brought the Lady Capulet costume, and Stephano brought the apron and the black jacket to show his role of the nurse. These props allowed the audience to distinguish who was whom. The play seemed to flow the way we have practiced and I was satisfied. However, I made a tiny mistake; I was supposed to stand up and say my last 2 lines; however, too nervous, and too timid, I was sitting down the whole time I read the last 2 lines aloud.

How well did you contribute to your group? I have brought 2 props, the apron and my pajama set. I have done 1/2 of the paraphrasing, handed in my character analyzation and promptbook. I have discussed fully in the group discussion on the theme of our play, how we are going to act, and the pose that we are going to face the audience.

How well did you perform as an individual? I am not a good actor to be frank; however, the acting that I have shown that day persuaded the audience that I was a pretty decent actor. I was surprised that I acted like that in front of a 15-20 people audience. I have tried to use emotions to read out my Lord Capulet line.

What could have improved your scene performance? Our group could have done british accents, and other eccentric extras to make our scene a little bit more funny or interesting. I figured out that our scene was too dull compared to other groups’, for example, like Bobby’s and Ryan’s.

How did the performance help you better understand the play? After I have performed in the play, I have learned that Juliet was more of a lier than what I have thought. In addition, I have also learned that the scene took place during the night time. Every time I read this part, I didn’t even think that it was happening during the night, as Lord Capulet told the servant to deliver the letter and no servant will deliver the letter during night. Therefore, this play have allowed me to learn about the settings and the characters.
