discuss a scene that needs improving

I think that the scene with Mr. Nixon, oggy and Dennis needed to be improved because all but Dennis didn't show engagement in this scene. This scene is when scruffy Dennis is given a porn magazine by Oggy moxon, Mr. Nixon argues with oggy and almost gets himself hurt, it was Mr. Nixon’s first encounter with a school bully. He doesn’t go about it as well as he could have done. Personally I think that Charlie toomer played Oggy too quietly when oggy is meant to be vicious and full on, Charlie needed to make his voice louder and stand with a better posture. This would show that oggy thinks he owns the school and is very powerful, it also shows that he thinks he’s bigger than the other kids and stands above everybody else. Ryan Dennis was playing Mr. Nixon, I wasn’t happy with the way he played it because he was too subtle when confronting oggy moxon, he should have been acting as if he were in charge, after all Mr. Nixon is a teacher. He also should have been louder because no matter who a teacher is talking to the teacher will always be loud and make himself look like the bigger person and make himself look in charge. I was happy with the way mason acted as if he was Dennis; he portrayed himself as if he were a young lad looking at his first porn magazine. he got really exited and was shaking as if he'd discoverd a new species

 

talk about my performance, what was good and what was bad

I think that I performed well in the scene where my character Mr. Nixon had a run in with Mr. Basford who was played by Callum, they had a disagreement and we had to act out an argument. We both rose our voice as the scene heated up and we both used body language to show we had strong opinions, for example for a few of my sentences I would poke him in the chest to show I disagreed and what I thought had to be heard. I wasn’t happy with the scene I played as Mr. Nixon when I tried to control the class and they were just ignoring me, I should have been a lot more aggressive and I should have shouted to show I was angry and wanted their attention.

 

I was very pleased with how the whole play went, we had great feedback and I think it went very successfully. My mum said the whole cast performed well and showed they also really wanted to get involved. The way our class performed got the audience very involved I also think the lighting helped with this because it feels like we are not in a drama room but in the school that the actors were pretending to be. We made the audience feel like this by picking some of the audience up and getting them involved.
