METAMORPHOSIS
the play was perfomed by the Cambridge. The play was based on a book, but the play was badly produced. First the backstage crossed every 10 seconds in front of the actors. i dont know if it was planned that way, but it looked messy. There were 5 actors. A family composed of a mother, father, son and daughter. and the boss of the boy. The father i think was the best actor of the play, he worked with his voice, played with his costume, he worked with his body and had a loud clear pronjecting voice. The mother, the daughter, the son and the boss didnt use their body enough. they offten interrupted other actors texts and said their texts wrong. i think the son needed a lot more work in characterization. they used wooden frames to simbolize things i couldnt understand. if i could re make the play, i definitely would change the mothers voice, the boy´s acting, review the cues and wouldnt allow the back stage on stage at any moment, use more clear scenery and worked more with spaces and color.
MARY POPPINS
the play was performed by the Flemming. we one thing i thought it was great about the play was the energy the actors had. The play was terrible, the text, the acting, the scenery everything, but it had a very high energy level. The actors i thik lack concentration, volume of the voice, pronunciation, and body expression. The script was too torn, i think the idea of the origins of mary poppins was to away from focus. the idea of mary poppins being latina didnt worked very well, i would´ve changed that content.
other thing i would work on would be the scenery, when they dropped the cloth to represent the woods and a boy "runned" towards it, it seemed too fake, not real. The actions and intentions worked on the play werent clear.
BE MY BABY
this play was performed by the san silvestre. The content of the play wasn´t very intresting, a house full of tennagers pregnat isnt a theme i would pick. The acting in this play was way betten that¡n Cambridge´s and Flemming´s. There was a very important thing that failed with this play, the volume of voice was so low i could bearly hear what they were saying. i constantly had to ask people what did the actress said! The scenery was simple, but changed constantly. The worke with the lights fufilled its purpose, but there were too many blackouts, every 2 minutes there was a blackout,. this i think tired the audience.
I would work with the volume and pronancuiation, cut some useless scenes which created unnecesary blackouts
