Evaluation of Bouncers: Draft

We have just done our performance of bouncers and it went very well as show. One of the scenes that went well in my opinion was the lads in the bar who are doing rounds; I believe this went well as one of our main problems in rehearsal was keeping the energy and fast pace speech needed for this scene but when we got on the stage we manage to keep this scene going without dying down. Another scene that I think went well was the second girl scene wear Rosie learns that her boyfriend has cheated on her, I like how we go to dance and the other girls dance away from Rosie then kick her out of the photo. After this we Rosie dose her speech, I personally don’t like I was Rosie and I was worried that I was going to mess up the big speech but what I struggled with was saying how I felt upset about the seeing him. I found this hard trying to find a way of saying the lines without sounding to upset and also one of my problems was that I didn’t look at the audiences while saying the lines but when it came to the show I think I managed to do this the way I am supposed to do. Several of the pieces went well and not many mistakes were made but there were some things I would have liked to of changed. One of the scenes I would of liked to have change or have cut out was the Wak and Wak scene as I couldn’t do the liverpudlian accent and to me I feel that really brought down the scenes energy and comedic value. The show could be improved and developed in many way, one of the ways I would have liked to improve the show would have been to performed the whole show, as a group we had cut out a lot scenes in show which had good comedies values as well as by cutting a lot of the scenes we lost the main plot of the show. I would have liked to have done every part of the story as Eric finds out that his wife has been having an affair in one of the last scene but we removed everything to do with that story altogether. Another part of the story we removed was to do with infertility which I would have liked to do as that a very deep scene. One of the things that disappointed me was with how we set up our audiences and are stage as I wanted big round tables with the people sat around each one and to have also had a bar on one side selling a range of drinks. I would have really liked to have done the show in an actual night club as well as it would of helped set the mod. I would of liked to have been able to have scenery on stage for the scenes like in the hair dressers I think it would have been better if we had an overhead hair dryer for Ralph and in the pub scene with the lads I think it would of looked better if we had an actual bar. My last thing I would have liked to of had radio mics as several members of the audiences said they struggled to hear several parts of the dialogue especially due to the music we added to the scenes as the audience said the songs was sometimes all they could hear during the scenes. One thing that annoyed me about the opening of are show was that the audience didn’t find it as funny as we did when we came up with the idea, the opening was one of our favourite parts of the show and the piece we put the most energy in as it was meant to be us making are self’s look stupid trying to dance and getting caught by the next Bouncer to walk on, so it was a bit off putting to not hear the audience laughing at us during this piece.
