Evaluation

This is the evaluation of the performance; I believe that the show went well even though a few mistakes were made. Unfortunately I was one of the people who made mistakes, I forgot my lines two times and there were a few seconds of silence, however luckily I did not come out of my character and I remained focused. Even though I couldn't remember the line I remembered the trace of my characters thought in that moment. I forgot my lines in the part where Thea is telling Hedda about her relationship with Eilert.  my line was about how Eilert made  thea feel alive and cared for. So i improvised it but still went along the bases of my line. During rehearsal I found it difficult to know when to come on stage, this was because we were outside of the room; we couldn't hear our ques. However instead of trying to listen for my ques instead I looked out for body language and movement from other characters. My queue was when Hedda got up and walked down stage left near the corridor. I would then come in but not straight onto stage, I would be in the corridor as thea and be waiting to enter the house of eilert and hedda.

I was very surprised that I forgot my lines on stage, because not once did I forget them in rehearsals on that day, honestly I probably did better in  rehearsals then on stage. I feel a reason as to why I forgot my lines is that i was concentrating too much on what to say next rather than living and being in the moment. For a tiny second I knew what I had to say but then I just lost it and it went out of my head, but like i said before luckily i had an idea in my head of what my character was feeling at that moment. 

I found the exercises we did before the show helpful as well, One of the excersies were to pick one line from the play that had the biggest intention on effecting another character, this highlighted to me that This was my major wham line which has to be said with the most conviction.

Also during the performance my friend said a line too early and missed out the bit where he was supposed to ask me for eilert's address. so I stepped in and said "Here I think yout might want to take his address"That action i did did not change the flow of energy, it kept the energy on stage keep going.

From this performance i've realized that plays can never fully be finished as there is always something that you can do to change it and I've learned you will never know how well a performance can go until you are performing
