Bouncers 4

1.       This week we succeeded in a full run through of are performance “bouncers”, other than a couple of mistakes we have done well in are performance. We later went over the scenes and decided what extra things we wanted like for seeing the audience in to the show we will stand by the door and walk them in and tell them to take a seat. For the opening dance we have to actors in the audience to start a fight so we can throw them out as bouncers. We also went over a couple of scenes in the opening and decided on a couple of songs to have playing in the background to suit the situation like for the first girl scene we have Taylor Swifts “shake it off” being played in the background of the scene and the same for the lads scene we have Stone Roses “Fool’s Gold”, later in the scene we play Arctic Monkey’s “Old Yellow Bricks”.

2.       This week we explored are techniques in character changes to make it clear that we are a different character by changing stances, walk and voice. We worked on are 3 main characters bouncers, girls and lads, we decided what are key characteristics are and how to change them as well as not making them too similar to the other characters.

3.       This week we did a lot of work on performing the show and other aspects like audiences and staging. I believe that as a group we worked well in planning out what we want to happen in each scene and how we want the hall to look for the performances. The weakness at the moment is that I don’t believe we have enough time as a group to work on the performance so we can isolate key problems and deal with them by improving the scene.

4.       To develop the production further I would of like to have performed it in an actual club so I would help give us and the audience a better feel of a night club while they watch the performance. I also would like to of had an actual bar for the performance which sold alcohol so are audience could relax and have a drink, I also would of liked to be older so as bouncers we could have an alcoholic drink to give us more of a distinguished look of an older bouncer.
