Kel Knight: Play Analysis

989 Words4 Pages

1. What aspect (e.g. use of voice, playing actions and intentions, focus and commitment to role) of your own performance do you believe you did well in? Explain

The aspect I believe I did well in was my focus and commitment. By choosing Kath and Kim I knew the play would be a challenge, because the characters were so familiar amongst the audience. Consequently, it impacted my approach to the performance because I knew I needed to significantly increase my focus and commitment to Kel Knight. This meant treating each rehearsal like the performance, working hard on staying in character and gaining an understanding of who that character was. Also, because Kath and Kim has a very funny script and we chose to make ours funny as well, I was required …show more content…

As there is a line between intertextuality and coping a storyline. But, if they were to use intertextuality it should’ve come from The Office as that is what they were doing.

3. How could the group have better utilised the stage space and the elements of drama?

The group could’ve better utilised the space by increasing the amount they were using. The group could have also gotten more into costuming by maturing what they were wearing to match the age of their characters.

A really interesting idea would be to allow the audience to see what was happening with the door such as having in the space so that we weren’t all watching a curtain.

The group could’ve tailored their performance to be able to include more elements. This could’ve meant having another space with split staging or splitting the desks and lighting only the people in conversation.

Another element of drama is accents. So the girls should’ve taken the opportunity to utilise this element. Allowing the plot to make better sense as some were just using their own voices that didn’t fit. This may have also assisted to keeping a consistency with

Comparing Dr. Mike Mikulics's Of Mice And Men

725 Words | 3 Pages

Douglas Vermeeren from ReliablePlant states that “roughly 70 percent [of people] fail to achieve [their] goals” due to lack of motivation as well as being incapable of overcoming obstacles (Vermeeren). The high-school play Of Mice and Men directed by Dr. Mike Mikulics presents George and Lennie, the two protagonists, who failed to achieve their goal of purchasing a piece of land because of encountering problems at the ranch they worked at. The director illustrates that some dreams are nearly impossible to conquer, therefore having a plan B would ensure some success. The actors and actress executes the play Of Mice and Men magnificently through their ability to act, maintaining the audience’s interest, and the storyline.

Bulrusher Play Analysis

1692 Words | 7 Pages

Bulrusher is the first production that I personally have been involved with at the University of Southern Mississippi. For this reason, I was really excited about the production from the very beginning. However, when I first read the script, I was a bit disappointed. The script moves rather slowly, lacks action, and explores its themes mainly through dialogue. Initially, I found the script difficult to understand, particularly due to the sporadic use of a virtually unknown colloquial language, and I was somewhat concerned about whether or not the audience was going to understand the themes behind the play.

Mr. Burns Play Analysis

1000 Words | 4 Pages

1. Mr. Burns presents a unique take on the field of acting. During the first act, there was a closed off and often quiet tone to the play. The characters are all spaced out and separated even as their common conversation is being given. The only time they come closer together figuratively and literally is when they’re feeling threatened.

The she got pregnant and she did not have a care in the world and just wanted to have the baby even when she was warned not to by multiple people. Her mom was the most worried about her because she knew that there would be a consequence on Shelby’s health if she did have the child. I see this play’s set on stage as a hairs salon just because while I was reading the play, I pictured a lot of the scenes in the hair salon. The effects would work because that’s exactly how the play started off and that is where a lot of scenes take

One use more set pieces during scenes with only two or three characters to make the stage more full and not as empty. The second thing I would add is more mics. Throughout the show audio was constantly at a low because of a lack of microphones and some dialogue and even singing was lost due to no one being able to hear the actors. One thing I would also change is some lighting clues, because at random points in the show a spotlight would appear on an entirely empty side of the stage while leaving actors on the other side almost completely in the dark. Secondly I would change the actresses playing Julia Sullivan and Linda.

The Play That Goes Wrong Play Analysis

760 Words | 4 Pages

“The Play That Goes Wrong” required a very detailed strategic plan of the arranged props and set design that actors need to follow in their performance. I believe the performers did a marvelous job in following the detailed choreography of the show. One of the most memorable cast members was Nancy Zamit. She played Annie the stage manager, who took the spotlight when she was forced into playing Charles’ fiancée named Sandra because the original female lead got "knocked unconscious” in the middle of the play. As terribly shy as she was, Zamit intensified the enjoyment of the audience as her character was reading off lines from pages of the script very awkwardly and awfully in an unfitted red dress and wig.

I Hate Hamlet Play Analysis

Before intermission, the set was only slightly distracting, with the basic clutter from Andrew moving being labeled with bright tags that drew attention away from the actors. Champagne was used in a fight before intermission, but was not cleaned up, causing every step after to be followed by a loud sticking sound that diminished the effect of emotional acting. Confusingly enough, Gary, who was supposed to be a male , was acted by a woman, and Lillian, who was supposed to be a female , was acted by a man. Grant Hollowell, who acted as Lillian, made a strong effort to act as a female. While trying to fit into the character, he over accentuated the feminine voice making it hard to understand what was being said at times when what Lillian was saying would've been essential to the plot.
