Evaluation- A Government inspector
Working on this play set a whole new experience for me,not onl because it was my last performances in the college but because I feel like with this play I spent the most time on my characterisation and research.
In all four plays I feel as there was a comon dinominator in my performance which was nerves,however I overcame my nervous by being in the moment and enjoying being in the stages space.
My fellow actors enabled me to play my character whilst being myself in my role.
I am comfortable around acting I front of them and I am able to work my best.
My highlights:
Whilst researching my character I was unsure if Dob and Bobs (myself and emilys) voices were going to work well with our characters in the play.the audiences reaction seemed shocked at first as I believe the voices were unexpected however as a satire it worked very well with the performance.
The ending-with the ending I was always quite cautious about as in the end scene myself and Emily have a argument and the argument is quite overpowered by everyone's Lou's remarked to the characters. In Rehursals I was quite wary of this however when we actually came to perform this I was surprisingly pleased with the way it worked,it looked more realistic and it helped the ending flow a lot better than I thought
The costume- me and Emily were unsure at first with what we wanted to wear,at first we were thinking "mc hammer" pants with maybe and simple top and a waist coat ,but then we realised that wouldn't fit with our characters.
When we concluded our costumes we were both quite weary as we didn't know if the audience would understand the wild costumes we picked out.
The audience had a good reaction towards it and all was well.
Cons:
Although all actors performed at there best level there were a few mistakes made as we were acting in the moment.
One laughable moment was when Willian's shoe some came of in the middle of our scene.this was a very funny moment and I do believe that the audience thought it was part of the play and although it worked well with the performance it was hard to keep a straight face.
I am proud of how me Emily and will acted professionally and were able to maintain professionalism whilst performing.
Punctuality and attendance- I am quite surprised at the amount of people that didn't come In at all to play there roles,it was the last play and for the actors who did come in,it was hard for us to play our role in certain scenes that they were in.
Not surprisingly those actors didn't learn there lines which slowed down the prosses of rehearsing the play.
Overall I am so delighted the outcome of our performance.
We worked through a hard and chaotic Rehursals prosses with many actors absent abs were able to play our roles perfectly individually.
After working in this play I understand how it is hard to work In a unstable environment but maintain proffesionalism.
I will take all the skills I have learnt in my higher education and take on broad all my feedback through out the years whilst learning quickly on how to improve them.
Characterisation
Upon researching my character I realised,both dob and Bob both resemble "twin like" characterisation.
As well as there characterisation,the way they look is very important as although they are both individuals of there own,we wanted to show how they resemble each other and how alike they are.
In Alice And wonderland they have to characters that are quite similar to dob and Bob chinsky-fumble doo and fumble Dee,both alike character resemble "twin like" characteristics such as there clothes,there body shape and even there height.Whilst reasearch ling deeper into this I realised it is possible for me to relate the twins in Alice and wonderland to myself and bobs character.
I began focusing on the way they walk.
I noticed the tweedle twins had a slight waddle in there stance and when researching and watching plays of the government inspector I noticed the actors playing dob and Bob show similar gestures in what they do and the way they walk.
Myself and Emily decided to in a way "waddle" when we entered the state space,by doing this we were able to catch the audiences attention even when certain scenes were both focused on us.

Individually both characters and there own person.
Myself a d Emily decided on a unique voice we could adapt easily when playing both characters,this not only helped us get into characterisation easily but it helped us adapt to our roles quicker as it surpisingly fitted well with the character.
unit 12- extended project,The government inspector
Lessom 1:
in this lesson we had to Identify a word tht fits with the character we were going to be in the play, the word I chose was confused,I chose this word because I believe that it fits with my character quite well as throughout the play my character portrays a unhinged persona.
Using this word we wee then told to walk around the drama studio, using the space.
I noticed that whilst doing this my body automatically embodied my characters mannerisms through my physical body. Leading with my legs I took long strides around the space showing confusion in my footsteps and also in my face, we were then told that we could interact with our peers whilst staying in character my first instinct as my character was to act and we committed to the character,excessive helped us embodying the character,not actin from the neck up,helped me place the character showing where he leads(I led with legs)
-gives character personality(describe what personality(created an image)
Developing sympathy/empathy
-we were able to connect with other characters
-an inner response(meeting as two physical bodies
We then chose a word in a script tht deceives us-I chose silly(word given from the play write)-the difference is the word is not what we feel the character is,it's what word is given.
We chose a piece of music our character would listen to (humpty dumpy)move in the rythm of the music
Realate to character(as an actor it helps build the character
Went in groups of 3 to create a scene with the gestures-show how the charters connect with each other-then we took out two lines from the script and cheated a scene-as soon as we added text the gestures got weaker
We then connected with another group
To create an ensemble piece putting all the lines and gestures together,
We created a story line,with the movements,we found joy in the play,we realised it was very comedic,from the feedback we got it showed tht it was very pleasing to the audience
We over exaggerated the movements
Placing it at a high level(level 10)-buildup on energy
Bobchnsky enters with dob informing the governor about overhearing news about the inspector.
Bobchinsky and dobchinsky stay close beside one another making sure they both listen in on the govenor,
The characters become confused as they listen in on what seems to be a mysterious inspector
The finale end in a disaster as both characters come to a conclusion that there the reason for the fake inspectors appearance!

Proposal unit 12
A review of progress and achievement through parts 1 and 2 of the course: (150 words minimum) This section provides you with an opportunity to reflect on, review and summarize your progress and achievements through the first 11 units, and the knowledge, skills and understanding you have acquired. What you know now, and what it means to you, compared with what you knew and could do before you started the course, and how this has influenced your choice of discipline or disciplines and your project proposal. It also provides an opportunity for you to explain your reasons for choosing a particular discipline or disciplines and to outline both your immediate and longer-term aspirations
Throughout the last 11 units,I have progressed and learnt so much as an actress.
I have learnt how to contextualise a play to really get into understanding your characters wants and needs which I didn't know before and would normally act upon instinct when taking on a new role.
I am now able to confidently stay in role as my character having in mind stanivslaskis through line technique,whilst embodying my character.
Why I found the most interesting was
Brechts alienation technique,
making the familiar strange and by doing this you would provoke a social-critical audience response.
By using this technique I was able to create a unique atmosphere whilst involving political theatre.
This technique has helped me on my journey as an actress as it allows me to go out of my comfort zone and perform in an Ernest manor.
In this course I was lucky enough to get a chance working in a professional environment with a well known theatre company CPT,from this I was able to learn a scope of skills which I will apply in my further education whether I decide to go to drama school or university.
Project concept:
(Approx 200 words) This section provides an opportunity for you to clearly explain the concept and aims of your project, production or performance, the research and ideas that will support its development, what you anticipate producing, the levels and types of resources that you will need and an indication of the form in which you will complete and present your final realisation within the allocated timescale. This might include an indication of when and how you will use studios, equipment and other resources, how you will make use of tutorial and peer feedback and w
For our final project we are going to perform the play the government inspector.
I am playing Ptre dobchinsky a small landowner,
My character is glued alongside his brother ptre bobchinsky who is also a small landowner.
My first impressions of these two characters where tweedle Dee and tweedle dum.Both characters show a similar domina towards each other and both there intentions are strangely very alike.
After given the scripts I firstly analysed a production done on this piece.
I tried to create a posture for my character
Which will be hopefully represented in the performance.
Myself and Emily who plays bobchinsky came to a conclusion that both our reactions should b of a similar nature.
Our chat is quite back and forth and both characters are presented as quite childlike.
Over the Easter I will take it upon myself to perfect my characters voice as I believe the crakle time I add when my character is speaking chates more of a comical impact sticking with the theme of satire in the play.
Myself a bobchinskys costumes should be similar if not identical,with maybe a tiny clue to show that were not the same character.
The resources I think myself and Emily should really focus on is reasearchimg our characters as most of our characterisation is using our bodys to lead our character.
I am going to take on board stanivslaskis method of through line when playing my character deconstructing and analysing the text,however my character is portrayed to not think before he speaks.
The individual feedback I have revived mainly focuses on throwing my voice to the back of the stage,after recently adopting a new voice for my character Ido find it hard to throw my voice across the stage,this is something that I need to improve on.
Section 3
To selfevaluate myself I will:
perform watch Emily perform and really try to embody her body language,because in the play we are portrayed to have very similar traits,this will allow us both to
Create a comedic atmosphere for the audience.
Another way I will selfevaluate myself is to record myself when performing so I am able to visually critique myself and my performance.
My main aim of the performance is to entertain the audience aswell as putting into mind the idea of a forth wall.
By doing this I will be able to act confidently blindsiding the audience but playing off them at the same time
If I am able to do this I will have met my aim.It is beneficial to me that I embark on all the skills I have learnt in the past 11 units on this project.

Unit 11
Whilst choosing m unit 11 question I was unaware of the impact funding has on the performing arts industry
It was interesting to me to find out the politics behind the government and revenue
Funding and how the economy will change as a result of brexit
For me politics has never appealed to my liking however surprisingly it has a wife impact on the performing arts industry
The research I will be carrying out will b from primary and secondary sources and I will b exceeding my focus on the global & economical way the funding system operated & the pressure dra school will have as a result of brexit
Brexit will cause the departure
Of the United Kingdom from the European Union
From this will come many challenges for the entertainment industry & as funding may come from exterior sources(outside of the U.K.) I do believe that brexit will have a strong impact
I do believe funding is nessesary for theatres,whilst doing my research I found out that the RSC creates only a 4 million profit with an income of "69.1 million" and an astonishing "65.1 million" outcome.
There are many ways to fund theatres:
Associated income-
This is a way of "renting out" skills on behalf of the company from the company members
For example if a company member is hired out for £50 an hour and you pay them £25,the company is making a profit of £25
This gives out equality in both the brand and position.
So what are the pros?
It is an amazing way to brand your theatre whilst making a good profit,this regime allows member to come and go,whilst maintaining a regular service
The members will be satisfied because of this opportunity and you are adding good value to your theatre
Cons-
It can take away from the purpose of the brand,a lot of marketing has to be put into it to make it a success.
There are several contracting laws to be aware of with associated income.
Investments
This is when someone puts in money with the goal of making a larger profit than the sum that they put in.
There are many investment strategies that people use E.g crowdfunding
Pros:
Init would be a partnership in the sence that your investor is on the same journey with you
It's a great starting point having an investor,for support and also maybe even advice.
Cons:
An investor will only put there money in if they can see a future with your theatre,so it's fair to say your theatre must have a previous success rate or a clear foreseeable future
Networking outside your theatre circles is important when searching for an investor,you also have to understand and look into the codes of conduct and investment contracts
Loans-
The fear for borrowers is that when brexit arrives an interest rate could rise which could push up the % payable to borrow the exact same amount of money.
Pro-
Loans can be a very quick source of cash
Typically personal loans will have a low % rate
Your able to pay back the money you owe in instalments and not all at once
Approval for loans are normally decided cry quickly after a simple credit check is done
Cons-
You have to pay back everything you owe
Inthe 2018 telegraph newspaper
The aa feared that fuel costs will rise an astonishing £500 per year,what has this got to do with funding?well with costs rising in the energy secretary it is likely it will rise in other places such as electricity,housing.And with costs souring the government is sure to raise interest within loans.
public /private funding
Private funding comes from -Local Authorities. The second largest supporter of the arts in England after the Arts Council, local authorities offer discretionary support to individuals and organisations. I.e This won't effect brexit )
How ever some foundations such as
the Paul hamlyn foundation has three priority areas of funding: the arts in the UK, education in the UK, and overseas projects that are concentrated in India
-due to international projects linking with funding this will have a down side fall due to brexit
Private equity funding
Is the equity capital that is not quoted on public exchange private equity finders invest directly into private companies and/or buyouts of public companies.
Institutional & accredited investors usually are able to invest a lot of money over a long period of time.
The private equity funding regime can be applied to a large range of companys
Pros-
There will be many patient investors as there will be a transfer of large sums of money
Normally investors of private equity funding will have made sure there is a clear profitable future within the company.
Cons
Within the uk there are many investors of private equity funding,however some investors in the uk may not think it would be a suitable investment so an overseas investor may be needed,this may be a problem as a result of brexit as transferring money may become difficult.
Private equity can run into thousands of pounds however you could end up loosing control of your company.
Public funding

monologue
Whilst choosing my monologue for this project my first instinct was to perform my "Sarah kane" monologue from my audition into this college,to me this was an easy option and as my group were focused on the performance "Fog everywhere" I knew that the time we had to practice was limited,however I wanted to take a risk and use a monologue I was unfamiliar with.
I decided to choose a monologue from the children's hour.
This play is about a orphans home run by two women, Karen Wright and Martha Dobie. An angry student, Mary Tilford, runs away from the school and to avoid being sent back she tells her grandmother that the two woman are having a lesbian affair,the monologue o have chosen is in the climax of the affair as Martha explains her love for Karen.
This is unlike any monologue I have done before,although I have already showed my skills of the "folorn" emotion in the play of two gentleman of Verona.
Whilst performing this speech I used emotional memory from a previous experience in my life.

Feedback:
