Yesterday we performed Curious Incident of the dog in the Night time, this was our first year 12 performance and I have to say I feel it went really well and I feel proud of everyone who was in it. There were only a few small blips but nothing the audience would have noticed so overall I think it was a big success. I am happy with how I performed as my parts I had were more on comedy side which I feel I am best at in drama, during the performance I got a good few laughs so I am pleased I was able to deliver my comedy to the audience and hope they enjoyed the performance.
The feedback I gathered from the audience was all really positive and they all found the part where I played a cash machine particularly amusing, even though this wasn't intended to be amusing I'm glad they found it entertaining, and some other pupils in my class told me that their parents thought I was very funny and played my characters well.
I hope the audience realised through my performance that I was playing more then one character as playing five characters wasn't easy but it was a challenge I really enjoyed and it gave me a chance to show that I can play more then one character.
If I was to perform this show again I think I would really try and separate my Punk character from my Information character in the train station, even though I think they were obviously different I still would have liked the Punk character to be more Punk instead of just ordinary pedestrian.
If I was directing this show I don't think I would have made the decision to have all cast sit pretty much on stage in front of the audience but after last night I thought it was a clever idea and was interesting as its something I would have never considered before this show and now it might be something I would want to bring to another performance. it was also good for the people that weren't on stage all the time as they got to watch some of the show instead of being bored back stage.
