Skills to be developed

Reason for skills development

I think that it is extremely important to reflect on current skills and to explore ways of developing new ones because I think that performers should constantly be learning and developing skills in order for them to become a better performer.

Skills that I aim to develop

•         Understanding and ability to perform in a wide variety of performance style. The main style of performance that I will be looking to develop this term is theatre of cruelty. By studying theatre of cruelty I will widen my knowledge, understanding and ability to perform in many styles. If I develop this skill it will contribute to the current skills that I have achieved.
•          I will also be looking to develop my confidence I would like to develop this skill because when it comes to performing I think that I am rather shy and only using my skills to a certain extent. I think that this is a very important skill to be developed because I could get a higher grade and i think it will make my performances a lot better.

Selection of Material

For this term the material that we was given was The Nightmare Before Christmas. It is the same routine every year in Halloweentown, on Halloween the monsters come out and perform a real scare. This particular Halloween, the pumpkin king Jack Skellington, bored of the idea, saunters off into the woods with his dog Zero after Halloween night. Upon the break of dawn, he discovers a clearing of trees with different doors representing various holidays. The Christmas Tree door attracts his attention and upon entrance into the world of Christmas, Jack is fascinated with this new idea of Christmas that he must absolutely share with the citizens of Halloweentown.

 

We were told that we had to put a revolting twist on the classic film, to give the audience a nightmare that they wouldn’t forget. Whites rehearsing and putting together our monologues my group put in a lot of thought, time and research. We based our final performance on the ‘Moors Murders’ we looked through multiple newspaper articles and watched documents to try and get a clear understand of what happened.
