Week 8

Performing our show in a thrust layout has brought new challenges to all actors. Chorus in particular have to not only be a part of the performance and copy Pips actions but we also have to tell the story to the audience and keep them engaged. 

Having the audience in this layout has made me more spatially aware so that's:

• what the audience can see
• what the audience can hear 
• what the audience can feel (the context of the line, how this may may make Pip feel, followed by how the audience would feel)

I also leanrt that the main characters in the play- when they push their characters, make bold choices,speak up and dominate the stage more  the performance is made 100 times better.Seeing this helped me to realize that i need to push my voice, my physicality and my expressions.
