we are learning to gather information from a script and fill out problems with this information. I worked with Jay on this and I think we worked well together. Next time I would use a table.
intentions: To portray anger and disgust because Elaine is telling her cousin Jessica to stop being a slob. Leading part of body: Shoulders ( drooped in tiredness).
Script: Do me a favour, alright, I know you're sick as a dog but can you please, please not leave your snot rags all over the damn place.On the kitchen table. On the dining table. I find them buried between the sheets in the bed. Its so gross, nasty and disgusting. How much effort does it take to actually throw them out. at least put them in a designated spot. I get that you are sick but that doesn't permit you to be a slob. How would you like it if you kept finding my snot rags all over the damn place. I stepped on at least two of them today and it got stuck to my foot. I couldn't get it off because the snot acted like glue and I had to actually scrape off the tissue paper from the back of my foot with a sponge. I'm ok. All i'm asking for is you to just be more considerate of me.
Techniques: An annoyed tone in Elaine's voice. Facial expressions: disgusted and tired. Movement: Body droopy and slow.

what a drama
we are learning: how to use our bodies in a performance
how does this show my learning: I have written a paragraph about how actors use their bodies.
I am wondering:
This week in drama we have been learning about body and movement. our focus was how we use our bodies to convey emotion and how we move to match that emotion.An actor must use their bodies to portray a story. An actors performance mustn't rely on words, rather how they use their bodies to convey a story. The way someone holds them self shows us a lot about their character and the type of person they are.
This week in drama we have been also doing some fun exercises. We have been working on acting on the spot. We have been doing these fun exercises where you have a group, one person is taken out of the room and the others are told a situation. the lone actor is taken back into the room and the others act out the situation, leaving the lone actor. Look at the video above to see what I mean. This was really fun and I really enjoyed doing this exercise. Next time I would like to be the person taken out to test my acting skills.

Its all about that voice, bout that voice...
This week in drama we have been learning about voice and how to use accents. This has been fun and we played several games.
Voice is a huge part of acting. An actor can use their voice to portray tone, emotion and feelings. Actors can also change their voice to fit their character description. Actors can use accents to build a cultural background to their characters and give them more depth. An accent helps tell us where you are from and what your life could be like. Using your voice in acting is very important when it comes to emotion and depth in a characters story.

Its a drama!!!!
This term in drama we got to choose a scene from a play to act out and preform infront of the class. My group ( Chloe, Jaime, Tanaya and I) Choose a scene from the play one man two governors where Roscoe reveals herself as Rachel. This scene was fun to act out because of the use of sarcasm and explicit language ( we used the word tits :)).
Our story is about a man who works for two governors and has to keep switching lives to suit his bosses. The play has some great characters and interesting dialogue. The story is set in 1963 and is about a man who is employed by two governors and tries to keep the two from meeting. To complicate things further one of the governors is actually his twin sister Rachel in disguise, her brother being killed by none other than her boyfriend Stanley. The play is full of twists and turns at every corner.
I enjoyed working with my group and we all worked together pretty well. Our acting skills have vastly improved since when we started this topic and we are all proud of how our acting has changed. We have learnt how to use our voice, height ( or lack there of) and tone to convey a story. Sadly on the performance day we did not have Jaime here so we had to improvise. We swapped rolls around to make the scene make scents but we failed...
The play was still fun to act out and we had a good time acting. Next time we would have all our members here so we can act to the best of our ability. Drama is a great subject and Mr Taylor is a great teacher.I really enjoy acting and will be taking drama next year so stay tuned.
