Feedback for Shahana Performance (Group 2)

Scripting:

Your script was well written and successfully communicated the ideas of the novel.

Appropriate inclusion of stage directions throughout, which helped with the later phases of rehearsing and performing.

The first half of the script is extremely strong. The second half could have been edited further to strengthen the links between ideas.

Rehearsing:

All group members worked consistently throughout the rehearsal period.

You showed a significant ability to work cooperatively as a small group.

Though there were often some group members who were absent, you all did very well to remain focused and work around any difficulties.
Great improvisation skills!

Performing:

The opening scene was very engaging and action-packed. It immediately attracted your audiences attention.

Your voices were clear and well projected throughout, and it was always possible to hear what you were saying.

It was occasionally difficult to distinguish between some characters.

In future, remember the importance of a more defined conclusion/final scene.

Overall Mark: 16/20
