From my scratch performance I mainly got positive feedback from everyone who spoke. I need to on something that always troubles me with performing - talking too quickly when I get nervous. I talk quite quickly naturally and I have to put a lot of effort into forcing myself to slow down and speak clearly when I'm performing.
Isabella gave me a note saying I should experiment with my piece on whether or not it works with the news report in the background. I went though my piece at home multiple times at home without the news report in the background but it didn't sit right with me. I want to show the contrast between the news report - an outsider looking in and the actual quotes from refugees.
I was told that my movements were delicate - this is a surprise to me as I definitely to not see myself as a delicate or graceful person but I feel (if it's true) that I could definitely use it effectively to power my piece. I want to really show the contrast between the delicate movements and the gritty, awful, real life things these poor people have experienced. This also gives me an incentive to create moments in the piece that aren't delicate or graceful - moments that are bold and angry - this is to try and extend my range of movements in the piece to ensure it's as interesting and vibrant as possible.
