The Dumb Waiter Project

Evaluation:


Overall I think that the performance went very well and I'm very pleased with how our scenes turned out, they were all very enjoyable to watch and I personally thought it was very clear the amount of time and effort that we all put into practicing our lines and rehearsing our parts. 

Watching other actors perform The Dumb Waiter also allowed me to gain a better understanding  of how my character Ben should be play and how my relationship to my partner Gus played by Bruno is meant to be portrayed. I used the ideas of Jason Isaacs who played Ben in Harry Burton's adaption of the play. By watching how Jason played Ben it allowed me to gain a better understanding of how the character is portrayed by other actors which then helped me in how I depicted how my character was supposed to be played.

I feel like over the time period of rehearsing I myself as an actor have improved a lot. Acting on stage in front of an audience always, I feel, allows me to improve my ability as an actor, for example my positioning on stage in relation to where the audience is seated is now a lot better.

In the performance I feel like there were quite a few things that worked well, for example I feel like me and my partner both played the parts of our characters very well. It was very clear and all dialogue was well spoken which made it flow more easily and easier to understand. The other performances that the rest of the people in my class were also very good and very enjoyable to watch.
