A Matter of Dissection

Description: this week we presented the one act play, and after this we analysed the good and bad things about it, and how we could improve it.

Analysis: We practices before the one act play, we went to Hiram Bingam, and practice on stage, we tried improving some things such as; the rhythm of the play, as it had to be more quickly because it had to be dynamic, and also some actions we had, we add at the beginning a choreography,  with a background sound. The day of the play, we also practiced, but we didn't expect much, as we didn't practice a lot and we didnt put all of our effort into the performances. We never had everything ready to perform and we only had ONE performance with all the play but with many errors, we didnt had all the props, not even the day of the performance, the mustache of Mateo arrived that same day, and because of this we had problems with the mustache as it fall various times, because we did not rehearse with the mustache before, so we didn't know if it would work or not. Luckily for us we had time to prepare the stage, before performing, as the Markham school was not available to perform that day, we prepare our stage, and we acted. I did not expected much of the play, but we all put a lot of effort, to keep the "newton school" name clear. We stay in silence and concentrate, and it went good, and better than expected, I think this happened because we finally worked as a group, we had a talk backstage and we united our selves and concentrate, we even helped each other with the changes (thing we didnt did before), and we keep quite on the back, we tried to do everything Roberto told us, all the feedback and all the practices, the work, the staying lots of days; we tried to make it worth it, and we put all of our selves, we believed our characters, and we got into the characters. Everyone liked the play, they screamed, they clap hard,. they laugh at out jokes and even at our mistakes. 

Connection and Reflexion: The opinion of everyone were very enthusiastic and they liked a lot our play, they congratulate us, and they compared our plays with the other ones, and the common comments were: the other ones, were horrible because we could not understand, we could not hear them, and they didn't had movements, the story was boring, the scenery didn't match the story, there was no colour scheme, they had many props, but they did not use none of them, and the acting was slow and therefore boring. They didn't follow what a play must have, as always, compared to other one act plays that other schools made years before, newton's plays is always better, but why? Because we try to make the play interest, and we prepare, we speak clear and loud (at least try to), we try to have as many movements and actions as possible (as theatre is about action), we try to make it dynamic and as quick as possible to make it more interest. The audience like so much our plays that they even laugh at our mistakes, as the stefano one, that the boob fall and he improvise so good that many people asked me if that was a mistake, or if it was plann, how can someone be so good in improvising that they even belief that?, why does the audience like SO much our plays, because it is really good made or is it because they are used to it?, that the newton theatre group is really good?, or not even that, why is the audience so open to us and so close to the other ones?, is it really because they are horrible made? and ours is very good?, or is it that they are too used to the idea of us been the good ones and them been the bad ones?
