Drama Performance Analysis
The aim of our drama performance was to perform ‘reality on stage’. We
did this by basing our character on a real life person. This aim was
to insure that we could fully understand Stanislavski theory of
showing realism on stage and applying it to our own acting. For
instance in our scene we had to enter a lift but to show this in a
realistic way we had to use the magic if (if my character was here
what would they need to do to get in this lift or even why my
character was getting into the lift in the first place.) We couldn’t
just walk straight into the lift we had to actually press as button
and wait for the lift to arrive otherwise it wouldn’t be realism.
Improvising
===========
In our first lesson of drama, once we had decided to place our scene
in a lift and brainstormed how our characters would react in this
situation our drama group just got up and we just started improvising
the scene. Each time we finished the scene we would spend time talking
over what worked well and what didn’t and then would improvise
selecting and rejecting material as we went on. I thought this was
such a good way of devising because we managed to come up with ideas,
which I don’t think we would have if we had not used improvisation. I
think this is because unless you improvise you tend to think too much
about your ideas, which means you might think an idea, won’t work in
your head, when in actual fact it does work well on stage.
Each piece developed a structure; and each piece built up to a
climax. Our drama piece built up for a climax at the end of the
performance. We used the contrast on silence and shouting to build up
the climax. One of the characters was silent the whole way through
where as me and the other character were out spoken. In the build up
the out spoken character and me both had a argument over the silent
Now that the car is up on the lift, remove the front wheels. Now, remove the cotter pins from the from the ball joints, and loosen the 18mm castle nuts. At this point, the ball joints can be popped free and the nuts fully removed. Next, remove the 10mm bolt from the power steering line bracket and remove the line from the plastic clips. Now, remove the stabilizer bar end links and rotate the bar upwards. Next, remove the 18mm nuts from the rack bolts, which are sometime 15mm and sometimes 18mm, and slide the bolts from the rack. Use a pry bar or similar device to separate the rack from the sub frame. Now, remove the four 15mm nuts from the two motor mounts. Disconnect the two ABS speed sensor wires. And unclip the harness on the upper side of the front of the sub frame. At this point get the transmission jack with large piece of wood. Position jack under sub frame and remove the four 18mm bolts from the corners. Now lower the jack with the sub frame and get someone to help you lift it to the floor.
Since there are so many options on the market, take several options in consideration and choose the best one according to you specific requirements. Gather all information, so you can compare in-floor with fold-out ramps and choose one according to the conditions you will be using it. If you're based in an area where it rains and snows a lot, an in-floor lift may be solution to helping you keep your interior clean. Fold-out lift may be a better option if you live in area with lots of curbs and hills.

The movie Doubt is set in a private Catholic School in 1960s. Sister Aloysius is the principal of the school, and Father Flynn is the clergyman in the church. While the movie deals with some moral dilemmas such as doubt versus certainty, rigidity versus openness and so on, the central theme of the story pivots on accusation on Father Flynn of child molestation. The story has a hanging ending where Father Flynn is proven neither guilty nor proven innocent. Based on the contents of the movie and my own analysis, I believe that certainty plays a bigger role in accusations and I believe that Father Flynn had been falsely blamed and I am also against the rigidity of the society.
The light and dark imagery that Shakespeare uses in this passage describes Juliet as a young and eager lover. Romeo associates Juliet with light meaning goodness. Then Romeo says that Juliet looks like the excellent night. The night that Romeo speaks of represents Rosaline. Romeo basically says through with light and dark imagery, that Juliet is as good as Rosaline to love. Romeo then compares Juliet to a "winged messenger of heaven" who filled with lightness and goodness. He says that all humans look upon this kindness as the messenger "bestrides the lazy puffing clouds" while doing his errands. Romeo explains using this imagery that everyone looks at Juliet because she gives off a stunning and intricate outlook.
Brecht, Bertolt. Brecht on Theatre: The Development of an Aesthetic. Hill & Wang New York,
“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” William Shakespeare may have written these words in As You Like It in 1600, but Erving Goffman truly defined the phrase with his dramaturgical theory. Dramaturgical analysis is the study of social interaction in terms of theatrical performance. Unlike actors though, who use a script telling them how to behave in every scene, real life human interactions change depending upon the social situation they are in. We may have an idea of how we want to be perceived, and may have the foundation to make that happen. But we cannot be sure of every interaction we will have throughout the day, having to ebb and flow with the conversations and situations as they happen.

Splendid Productions adaptation of ‘Macbeth’ was performed on the 13th of December 2016, at the RADA studios, London, and was performed by Scott Smith, Genevieve Say and Mark Bernie. The original version of Macbeth was written in 1606 during the Jacobean era, and the adaptation created in the 21st century. I would agree with the statement as the interpretation by Splendid was created to be enjoyed, engaged and relevant to the audience of the 21st century.
In this paper, I will be focusing briefly on my knowledge and understanding of the concept of Applied theatre and one of its theatre form, which is Theatre in Education. The term Applied Theatre is a broad range of dramatic activity carried out by a crowd of diverse bodies and groups.
The evolution of theatre conventions began with highly presentational Greek productions and changed through the Medieval and Elizabethan ages to the current conventions. Greek conventions included performances done on a mostly bare stage, the use of internal stage directions to indicate location, episodic play structure, and a chorus that served multiple functions including setting the overall mood, commenting on or explaining the action, and creating reflection intervals. Other conventions included an all-male cast, the “Three Actor Rule,” the presence of a tragic hero, and the plays typically served the purpose of teaching the public or making a political statement. Many of these conventions evolved to adapt to the time period of the performances.
flaw(s) cause the story to end with a tragic downfall. Shakespeare’s Macbeth is one such tragedy.
Shakespeare is a famous writer of many plays, such as Twelfth Night. Twelfth Night is a romantic comedy that takes place in Illyria and incorporates several songs throughout the play. Shakespeare normally assigns the singing roles to characters of lower class and minor personalities, such as servants, clowns, rogues and fools. Major characters never usually sing unless they are in disguise or in distracted mental states. In Twelfth Night, the Fool, who is also known as Feste is in charge of all the songs and he uses music to effectively portray the truth and reality beneath all the acting in the play. The songs are not a reflection of him, but are addressed to the protagonists themselves. Through his use of indirect speech and metaphorical
My experience watching a live theatre performance on stage was a fascinating one, most especially since it was my first time. I attended a staged performance of “The History Boys” in a small theatre called “The Little Theatre of Alexandria” at 8:00 pm on Wednesday June 8, 2016 in Alexandria, Virginia. The overall production of the play was a resounding experience for me particularly the performance of the actors and the design of the scene made the play seem real.
