staging and props

-

I’ve decided to do Kylies monologue from beauty and the beast. I honestly loved this performance but i think it could have been a bit better if she had a little more time to prep. For costuming i think i would definitely keep her pretty close to the movie. Probably a blue springy dress with a white apron. I wouldn't focus on the shoes because she's walking on dirt and stone roads. As a simple girl I wouldn’t give her any jewelry or bling but maybe a straw hat or bonnet. For props i would definitely have her carrying a bag of some sort probably canvas. Maybe a loaf or bread given to her by the baker and some small leather back books. For sounds I would personally put the sounds of a bustling town and the murmur of people but keep it just as background sound so it does not overpower the speaker. Set design for this piece might be a little difficult because in a town there's a lot of elements that are hard to portray in 2D. I would probably make a few shops that are free standing so it looks more real and interactive. The staging would have to be made up of small movements ( maybes moving to one stall to another )

play review

I thought the play The Importance of Being Earnest was pretty good. I've never heard of the certain play before but I think that they portrayed the themes really well. The acting was amazing. The actors worked really well together and fed off each other really well. It was easy to figure out what people's personalities were and that really helps especially if you’ve never seen the production. Erin was very enjoyable to watch. He portrayed his characters friskiness and the ability to eat for the whole play was very impressive. I think the lighting was pretty good but it was hard to figure out if they were inside or not. maybe when the scene shifts inside the lights can dim. I didn't catch a lot of sound work but that's just me but cannot say if it was good or not. I liked the set for this play. it was simple and didn't need a lot of on-set changes which helps the cast. The only weakness was line stutters and pronunciation. over all the play was great!
