Drama Lesson Six

Drama Lesson Six
In this lesson, we created our own individual monsters, which we named. After that we were put into groups and we created a tribe name; then we created a small scene which introduced each character and a problem which they had to solve.

My monsters name was Victorop. It was a monster that have short arms like a t-rex; I also changed my vocal approach to make it less like my natural speaking voice. Our tribe name 'Casmaract Tribe of Monsters' and our problem was that Andrew's character had lost his peanuts and we had to help him find them again.

After we had some time to devise, each group performed their short scene. We then all had a chance to write down some feedback for each group, including our own.

Megan's Groups Feedback - I felt that the different levels worked well to help create a more entertaining piece of theatre. However, I did feel that the idea of Megan and Lois running away for Sapphire was unclear because we were unsure of why they where running away.

Harry's Group Feedback - I felt that they had a great range of different and diverse characters and movement that the incorporated into the scene that helped with characterisation. I did feel that when they were doing the section about the torches, that they could have been more central rather that placing themselves in the corner away from the audience.

My Groups Feedback - I felt that we all had good characterisation throughout the devising and performance stage of the lesson. Also, I felt that we used the space well; however, I do feel that we could have used more physical theatre movements and elements to help portray the scene better, as well as using different levels to make the piece more interesting and entertaining throughout.
