Devising: Day 5

We tried something different today.  Instead of working in our groups for our actual decided piece, we were split into 3 different groups today by our teacher and asked to perform a scene from a play called "He's Talking" about a group of South Africans trying to fight the corruption in the 60's

In the group. We had three actors and two directors. The idea of this scene was to try and get us to focus on our voice again. The scene hardly had any movement in. So it was up to us to act the scene as well as we could to keep it interesting. This was hard as the dialogue was very wordy and the scene taking place in a living room, so any little movement or a change in tone had to be done right to keep the audiences attention. I tried to do it in a South African accent I add to the authenticity of the performance. I feel that my accent was rather good, however, needed to speak more slowly to get the true South African accent across.
