Stage combat choreography



Reflection:
Our final stage combat choreography performance achieved the desired result we were going for. By practicing our areas of weaknesses, we managed to conceal and knap our actions. They looked very realistic, especially the hair pull which was probably one of our strengths. The hairpull looked realistic because of the way my arm was tense and Azahra's hands covering my clenched fist (with no hair in). Azahra also used her feet to push off and slide accross the floor to give the impression that I am pulling her, which we learned ourselves although we were supposed to be taught it but it is fine as we were successful with pulling it off. Another realsistic component was our slaps and the way Azahra and I reacted. The knaps were loud and clear, and we reacted on time; not to early nor too late. One of my difficultires was that my hand would always aim for above my partners head, but with constant reminders, I was able to fix the flaw. Overall, our scene was to the point and quick and we managed to remember the script and choreography.  Our scene was successful. At the end when our peers and teacher gave feedback, there was nothing negative only positive compliments on our play. Next time, I think we could add more talking to make the story progress into a more violent situation and therefore make it more believable.

    Great that you used specific examples and also that you recognized your weaknesses and how to overcome them.
