This week I've noticed that every activity we've done will help us with our performing arts. Going in front of thew whole class and acting like things were there when they really weren't will help us on acting to be imaginative with our lives and career.

Regarding your Group Mimed Performance: You did not break character which helps us to believe your character. Continue to pour focus into your character - mind & body - and that will help you to keep your personal feelings of nerve or laughter at bay.

My character is Hailey. She is currently 14 years old and is going through a lot. She is internally sad and externally happy. When she was 9 her dad moved out so now she lives with the sorrow of living in two houses. So therefore, she acts happy and joyful so people won't know her problems. I will physically be this character by "pretending" i was in her situation. I want you to tell me if i break onstage, as if it actually "looked" like it was me.

Regarding your monologue performance: You did a good job of not breaking character despite distractions in the house. You were audible enough in terms of projection, but your voice read as monotone across the whole Consider next time matching a vocal arch across the whole piece. In regard to looking like you're in character, the movements were small and nervous, You came across as someone who might be speaking to a counselor in which case the physicality of the character came across very believable.

On my collage, my story was my life and my interests. That is coming to life in set design because i like flowers and floral prints and my set design is very naturalistic. The mood of my collage is like happy and chill at the same time. My set design will capture that mood because nature is happy but chill at the same time. I have a varirty of colors in my collage and different types of shapes. These will be refletced in my designs because i have alot of different things in my design.

Thank you for helping me be better in drama and giving me strength to perform my monologue. You've supported me so much this year. I'm glad I have a friend like you to be with me in drama!

Comedy and Tragedy masks are still common and popular today because they really capture the essence and facial features of the character they are trying to portray.

The girl with the red hair was going to lunch with her friends and the weather was just perfectly warm outside. She was playing a sassy girl on the go who likes to chill and hang out with her friends. She had these high heels with a skirt and a shirt with a long coat and cool accessories.

One's work should be acquired because it can inspire others and could be a great eyesight to people that love art.

Regarding "A Midsummer's Night Dream", yes and... you did great with making sure your voice was be able to heard by the entire audience. The only thing you should have done a bit differently was memorize your lines a bit better. Other than that, you did great!

My performance piece is about a girl at an interview for Hooters. My main goal is that the audience thinks that it's very funny and creative. So far we are still memorizing our script and starting to act it out.

Regarding your final scene "Das Interview": Your scene was very funny to you as you broke character a lot, laughing at your own jokes. I hope that this laughter did not overshadow your sense of the audience, who was not with you very much at all. Overall, the humor was off-note and the fact that you read the whole thing was a disappointment. I hope that the takeaway from this class is that you spend more dedicated time to preparing in a more professional manner for presentations and performances in the future.

I liked the thought of what my performance was supposed to be, but to be honest i did not like the performance itself. I feel like i laughed a lot and broke character. I am just glad that i got the performance done and over with...
