My Drama assessment task: I passed!

Post Reply New Topic

Normally, I am the sort of person who cannot speech or preform infront of anybody. That is why I am in the drama class, because my teachers and parents though that it might give me a little more confidence.

Well, today was the first assessment task. For the past few weeks we have been preparing in groups to do a preformance that goes for 2-3 minutes, and is based on a poem about the destruction of the environment. My group decided to be a little more creative, and I ended up playing the 'voices in their head'.

I didn't think I would acutally be able to preform, I was so nervous. Yet, when I acutally got up on stage, something kind of clicked and I was able to throw myself into it. I didn't screw up, I didn't miss any cues and I only forgot one line (which was okay because it wasn't important and we just skipped over it).

And everyone was impressed And I've passed

Excellent! Well done.

Congrats

that's wonderful! glad for you!

thats great

I still have much difficulty with that myself... 6 years of college and it has gotten better though...

Usually I run 'scripts' and it usually helps out a lot... but if I get off track, I almost freak out...

Once in front of class, I was giving a presentation for a marketing campaign of a ficticious company... I ran off on a tangent, out of 'script' and totally locked up... actually started flapping one hand, gritted my teeth and groaned... That lasted 2 seconds or so before I could bring up the mental blocks to control the behaviors and then a few more seconds to redirect back to the task at hand...

I did finish the presentation but that was the worse incident I had recently...

It is difficult and congrats at pulling it off.
