Evaluation- Identity Unit 1
this evaluation, I will talk about levels 2 Performing Arts students project called Identity which is based on race and feminism. We performed the project at Westminster Kings College theatre in front of levels 3 Performing Arts students and other students from a different course. At first, we have watched the levels 3 performance and it was mindblowing. As a group, we have worked so well as a team in the rehearsals and helped each other in need. The message behind the project was that at the end of the day we are who we are, we all should respect and support one another no matter our race or sexuality. We no longer should hide in the shadows from everyone, its time to show our true selves.
In this project, I have played a character named Ola which is based on myself and my personality. I liked playing my character because I was independent and full of confidence. My favourite part of playing my character was when in the beginning Im saying ''Zawsze bede soba '' which means '' I always will be myself '' because my character was full of joy and happiness on the stage. The challenges I have faced creating and performing my character was to stay in a character and to have facial expressions while acting. In the performance, we had a dance routine which was made by me to a song called This is Me and it was the final piece of the play, everyone who took part of it did brilliant but there were some challenges with teaching them every step as they tend to easily forget or didn't do it with energy.
In the performance, I have used my physicality well while playing my character, for example, I have walked on the stage full of energy with a big smile on my face and I have walked towards the circle while flipping my hair when she was mentioning the lighter skin in the play, also when she mentioned the darker skin, I have looked up and down and created a reaction towards a black student standing next to me and run away screaming towards the backstage. The parts that I did practically well in the performance was doing the choreography for the song called This is me because I didn't forget any step and I did it perfectly, also playing my character because I did enjoy acting full of joy and positivity because I was happy just being myself. The parts that were my weakest in the performance was the ending piece when I asked private student questions because I didn't use any facial expressions and my vocal range wasn't really clear.
I think that I have worked well as a team because I was listening to everyone idea's and opinions, plus I have helped some students in our class with the choreography after college. The issues that all of us have faced during the performance was that in front of the audience some of us did had a lot of energy but some of us were lack of energy. Furthermore, all of us didn't project our voices while performing on the stage. The project was interesting for us to work on and perform on the stage as we have never done a play done by everyone in the class but it was fun, I loved it and I had enjoyed performing in front of the audience our project. I think that this project was a success because we all tried our best to stay in a character and our confidence being on stage was over the top. The part that did go well was how all of us did put our mind into it and we didn't let anything distract us from performing. The part that didn't go so well was our energy on the stage especially the choreography as some of the students did look tired doing it.
Overall, I think that this project was a fantastic play for us to perform and it had an interesting storyline. I liked our play because it was childish and I had a lot of fun doing it. I think that this performance was amazing and everyone should be very proud of themselves as we all have shined on the stage. The part that I would like to improve on for this project in the future would be to have more energy and fun doing it, also staying in the characters. The thing that I would like to develop in my next project would be to have more acting skills and to work on a script or musical.
