Drama skills and convention audit,
What did you know what didn’t you know?
How did it make you feel?
Today we were given a sheet from Miss Woffinden which had a lot of different drama skills on it. From here we colour coded these skills using Red, Orange and Green pens whether we understood the term, had an idea or didn’t know at all. Then we went through these terms and discussed who knew what they meant and if we didn’t what they did mean. I knew a lot of theatre styles for example Melodrama and Physical Theatre. I also knew what a lot of stage crew and management jobs were and what they entailed.
What did you research for homework?
I didn’t know what the term role on the wall was but I realised once I had been told that I have done it a lot and just never known the right term for it. I also didn’t know what soliloquy and mantle of the expert was and so I researched these for homework. It made me feel quite relived that I knew what a lot of them meant but excited to learn the ones I didn’t.
Soundescape modelled by the teacher,
The Soundescape was really fun and interesting as I have never done this before and it was interesting to hear all the sounds made just by the actors. A Soundescape is where a group of actors create a piece of sound to make an atmosphere using themselves and body parts.

Conscience alley,
What is a conscience alley?
How did we use it?
What worked well and even better if...?
Conscience Alleys are something I have done a lot and really enjoy. I find them very effective and a really good drama technique to use. A conscience alley is where the actors form a tunnel/ alley shape in the way they are stood and one actor walks down the middle either getting their thoughts spoken by others, thought of other people about this actor spoken by others or a good/ bad (devil/angel) choice as why/ why not something should/ shouldn’t happen. We used this in our anorexia piece to portray the woman back when she was anorexic, whether she should eat something or not. I think this worked really well and was very apt for our issue. I don’t think anything could make it any better to be honest; I really enjoyed it and found it very interesting and moving.
