Thinking about Performing

Yellow Hat - What were the good points?

• It was fun
• It was exciting to do it in front of lots of people
• We used great expression
• We used just enough props to tell the story but not so many that it was distracting
• Great acting
• Getting feedback about the good things we did
• Used initiative and creativity to create costumes
• We painted a scene with our words and actions
• Lots of people will have achieved their goals for reading
• Some people didn’t even need to use their script
• Great costumes

Black Hat- What were the problems?

• Sometimes people got muddled
• It was a bit nerve wracking
• Some people found it more difficult than they expected not using the script
• Everybody needs to work on making sure that the action people are noticing is what is ON stage not OFF stage
• Don’t hide behind your script
• Look up at the audience even when you’re reading your part
• It is hard to remember to keep your face towards the audience
• All the words need to be correctly said and pronounced this is tricky especially when you’re nervous
• Unexpected accidents - like ripping a script
• Hard to keep concentrating so that you come in at the right time
• Hard when you loose your place

Red Hat - How did we feel?

• Nervous
• Happy
• Excited
• Scared
• Freaked out
• Brave
• Proud
• Important
• Puzzled
• Great
