Peer Feedback 2 and Running Through Act 2

We began the day by performing Act 2 of 'The Cinderella Pantomime' to The Year 2s and The Level 2s. I was given feedback, where I was told that my face looked very moody. Therefore it is important that my face is never neutral. I need to be smiling or shocked/ puzzled at all times, otherwise I will look moody. I also think I need to vary my facial expressions more and make them bigger. In addition I should vary my movements more and make them bigger.

Here are some images that portray the facial expressions that are  suitable for panto:
These facial expressions are suitable, for when my Panto Character is happy or excited.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Reaction is suitable for when my character is shocked (e.g. when The Baroness makes her entrance)

 

 

This facial expression would be useful for when my character is intrigued.

 

At lunch time I practised all of the dances in Act 2 in front of a mirror, with other chorus members, which helped me with timing. I also took some time to practise my facial expressions and reactions in the bathroom mirror. I found this very helpful, as it gave me a better idea of what I look like on the stage.

I was given feedback that my dancing was okay, so I need to make sure that I dance with this level of energy at all times. Practising each dance 20 times a day over the weekend helped me to improve dramatically, as on Thursday I could not remember which move came after the other. Therefore, whenever I have to learn a dance I must spend extra time rehearsing in front of a mirror and recording myself to see what I look like.
