Assignment 6: Tapan Darji

Theater has been around since the Ancient Greeks. Comedy is one of the main styles of performance. My group's scene from "The Importance of Being Earnest" was one of comedy. We were very funny in the play. However, we lacked costumes and accents. The first line spoken was hard to hear. As the performance went on, the projection of voices got better. Some of the lines were not said properly. The pause when Merriman was setting up the table was kind of awkward. We did a good job of being funny. Kevin did a great job with the set design by making tea, setting up the table, and bringing sugar. He was well prepared. His movements were good. We did not use much space because most of it the scene was with Gwendolen and Cecily sitting. Overall the performance went well.
The performance added to the text because it gave the text a new perspective that reading only does not give. Performing the text adds dept to the dialogue on the page because you can actually see what the background looks like and the actions of the characters, so you can actually focus and concentrate on what they are saying.
