Assignment 6 Ji-Hae Kim

This assignment was fun. I think my group did pretty well, considering how ambitious we were. We took three scenes and abridged it so it would fit into 5 minutes. We had a lot of lines to memorize (especially for Jack and Algernon), but I think my group did a good job of remembering most of them. There were a few slip-ups here and there, but not enough to be extremely noticeable. The character developments of Jack (by Raiffa) and Algernon (by Isabel) were really good. I think Cecily and Gwendolyn could have been developed further in their mannerisms. I slipped out of character during Jack and Algernon's muffin scene, but it didn't change the overall performance of my group. It wasn't too hard to understand what we were saying. The projection and articulation of our lines were good. We could have been more aware of the space on stage. We weren't always facing the audience, and we may have blocked each other from the view of the audience. It would have been fun to use more props, but I believe the muffins were sufficient. We were prepared enough for the performance.

I think performing the play helped me understand the characters and plot more than just reading the play. The characters were more developed in my mind after performing.
