final blog

This year I chose to do dramatic arts because I usually only did art classes like painting and I wanted something different. I did have some experience in dramatic arts before I came to Cheshire from when I was in Hamden hall. This year I learned how to convey emotion and really connect with the audience. Public speaking isn’t really a strong point for me but I really came out of my comfort zone. I really liked group projects but it was sometimes hard to focus when we had many people in our group. Group work was also hard when people didn't take responsibility for their parts. Memorization is hard for me but I think I kind of was able to work through it. I think our group decided to do the final the way we did because it was different than anything we have done before. Yes, I think it was challenging because a love story is very hard to portray but it was super fun to make. Although we were super pressed for time for our final I think we ended up pulling it together at the end.

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!
