Midsummer Night’s Dream Reflection

-        How well did you know your lines?  What challenges did you face in learning them?

Answer: 

I believe that I knew my lines pretty well, although when performing it, I had difficulty. I could have put more time into learning the lines with emotion. There was also the reason that our group did not practice a lot, and as we all know; practice makes perfect. The challenges I faced in learning them were that as they were not rhyming, they would be harder than the other lines that rhyme, but overall. I had no large issue in learning the lines. 

-        Did putting on this performance help you to better understand Shakespeare’s play?  Why or why not?

Answer: 

Yes, putting on this performance did help me better understand Shakespeare's play, in the way that I would know what emotions were needed to be used at what time. When learning the lines, getting tips from others, and then presenting, I got a better understanding of how emotion is a large part of the play. 

-        How well did your group work together in preparing for this performance?  What went well?  What didn’t go well?  What will you do differently next time?

Answer: 

I believe that our group did just okay in preparing for the performance, we did not put a huge amount of time into it, only the amount we thought was needed. Fazeel's and Ammad's scenes went exceptionally well, as they performed it with emotion, using their arms, and putting effort into what they said. The things that didn't go very well, were possibly the prologue, I liked it, but there was no emotion, and this is being nervous, scared, and frightened. There was little movement of the hands, but I think that it would require a little more, although good for a first time.  Over all I think that we did good, although we need to spend more time in practising. Next time, the motto will be E.A.P (Effort, Attitude, Participation). 

-        How creative was your group in presenting this scene?

Answer:
Our group was very creative in presenting the play and all of the scenes, we attempted to try a Pakistani twist, whilst still keeping the theme and plot of the play the same.
