Blogologues: Final Reflection / Performance Self & Peer Evaluation

Throughout the unit of Blogaloques, we were put into three separate groups, with each group having a director who chose the theme for the group. Our theme was love and marriage. In our final performance, I personally think that we did a good job because we worked very hard on it. Something that I'm happy about my group's performance is that it went as planned, and we didn't get confused on what we had to do next because we had planned out the entire run through before hand. Something that I'm so not happy about the performance is that the crew upstairs kind of messed up the montage for the members in the group by delaying the montage and sound entry for the performers in my group. The overall performance in my own opinion was good and I think that the opening of the performance was also very cute as we had two of the performers who was acting to be in love and danced to a song called love and marriage, which I found quite cute and enjoyable. Some things that we can try to improve next time is to make sure that whoever is handling the lights and sound from upstairs does the job properly and well so that the performance run's smoothly. A critique of my own performance in my personal opinion is that I did okay, but i could have down better. Because i was away for an entire week i did not get enough time to actually perform with my group which is why my own performance was not as good as it could have been. As a critique for other people's performance in my group, I personally think that they also did a very good job because they were here while i was gone to practice as a group, and they knew their lines and everything (not that I didn't know mine). The member who's performance i chose to evaluate was for Shubham. I personally think that Shubham did a great job because in his performance, he played two roles (of a wife, and of a husband) which is why I think that it was good considering the fact that he did not stutter or mess up at all, and he was also funny because his performance made the audience have a good laugh out of it. Something that Shubham could do to improve in his performance, is to maybe use some sort of a prop item to show that he's playing the wife's role, and a different prop item such as a hat or a stick on moustache to show that he was playing the tole of the husband. Overall i think that Shubham and my group as itself did a very good job in the performance. 

Unit 4: Blogologues - Reflection & Evaluation of Run Throughs (Self and Peers)

Through out our run throughs for our blogalues unit i personally think that we could have worked harder as a group. Although i was not here an entire week, my group still managed to practice the run through's without me. I personally think that in the beginning of the unit if we worked a bit harder with the run through's then our performance would have been perfect but because we slacked off at times, it wasn't as good as we wanted it to be. For my personally evaluation of my contribution to the performance, and the group, and the run throughs itself I personally think that the fact that i was gone for an entire week had a HUGE affect on my performance because I did not get the time to practice the run throughs with my group itself which is why i missed out on a lot of things which I had to pick up on last minute, so in that way my own contribution for the run through's was not as good as it could have been. But for the other member's in my group, I personally think that they did a better job than I did when it came to getting involved and contributing the most in the run throughs. The person who's contributions I chose to evaluate was Shubham. I personally think that Shubham contributed the most throughout the run through's and he put in the most amount of effort and practiced the most. I think that that is why his final performance was really good because he had used his time wisely to memorize his lines and to actually get his work done. In order to improve our contributions for the run throughs i personally think that the group should practice in an area where the teacher is around so that they could remain concentrated and on task and if they slacked off then the teacher would have told them to get back to work.
