Reflection 

Person A

Ward Gunce su’s friend: Chareoline

I am going to be a lady that ordered clothes online but ounce s ( the delivery girl) The shirt that i ordered is 10x bigger than i expected it to be, so then i start the whole fight and get so mad that we start to fake fight physically since we are learning stage combat. I am a type of person who will get moody and mad very easily so that will be hard for Sophia ( Gunce su) to give me the present and me liking what she gave me

Person B

Gunce su the person that gets me the present: Sophia

She is going to be the person that gave me the wrong shirt because it was 10x bigger than i asked and It was wards birthday. Sophia ( ounce su) never new that Caroline ( ward) would think of it that way. She is the type of person that thinks that everything is fine and does not stress too much on giving presents to her best friends.

Scene background: 

We are fighting because she gave me the wrong shirt even though it was a mistake, but I think that she did it on purpose because the thinks that 

I am fat so than i start the fight. This is going to be a silly performance because we feel that it is going to be more funny and interesting, we also thought that we will have more ideas and dialogue between us and also acting serious is hard for some of us. 

How do you think your stage combat will go? 

I think that this will be good but i may have trouble trying to memorise the choreography and which one goes where in which place, But i still think that we will do a good job in total because we just need to practice a lot at home and at school. There may be some hard time with the reactions and how to be confident and for me to smile less during the plays.

In Drama class today we had to perform our performances that we had a week to practice on. Me and my friend Gunce su were one of the first people to preform on stage, and for me this is the hardest things but i had to get over it. I got a prop with me on stage and it was a big sweater so that it can be better with some props on stage. The performance did not go so well probably because we did not practice a lot and did not memorise the choreography probably and that will probably affect our grades. The techniques we used was slapping, punching, shoves and the extra move that we added eye pock. i also had the mistake of when i make a mistake on stage i just have to keep going, i can improve on that if i have confidence.

reflection on stage slap

In our drama class we are learning various types of stage comebacks so far we have learned stage slap and now we are moving on to stage punch. Our teacher gave us an idea of what to make our short play about, the play the we had to do was about two people arguing the employee and the boss, Jenna chose to be the boss and I was the employee, we had and argument about me not doing my work ( in the play) and then i ended up slapping. We had to learn how to slap a perfect slap so the there will be no injuries. We first had to be far from each other but not too far, you can tell if you are fa enough if u put ur hand out and there should be a small gap between you hand and the other person. You then must give a sign to the other person so that they know that you are going to slap them and you can also look at the place where you are going to hit them on ( most people would aim at their cheek) Then you must stand of centre, that means that one of our legs must be i the middle of the other person leg ( still keep the distance). The most important part of this (apart from safety) is the reaction that you will have at the end, when you are slapping you need to make sure that you react when it is near your cheek, but when you are going to punch you react when it is slightly across your face to make it more realistic, but we both must react on certain reason. Then there is something called a knap, that is the sound that the person that will be getting slapped will make since we have no special features to support us. In the play that me and my partner Jenna were communicating and collaborating with each other so that it will be perfect play, we had to keep practicing so we won't mess it up. The successful part of our play was the dialogue and the way that Jenna reacted. However there were some unsuccessful parts like the snap sound when I was going to slap her, i feel that it could be a little more louder. If we ever do this again I feel that we could improve on making it more realistic and I we could improve on the free frame at the end to make it look more realistic and not fake. In conclusion i think that this was a good task to learn how to have an argument, and how to stage slap without hurting anyone, we have worked well together and both have learned a lot of things about stage comebacks. Under this there are some photos of what Jenna and while we were practicing our slaps and our freeze frames.

This was still when I was slapping Jenna but with the camera showing her reaction
