Our performance switches between modern day ancient times. My character was developed in our performance by researching about my character and analysing text in the script that would mention my character. I also looked at my use of movement and use of voice to depict my character, this was very helpful because i was then able to develop my character.

In my groups performance we wanted to audience to feel different emotions as different parts were showing different feelings e.g when Achilles and Patroclus were speaking we thought as a group it would be best to show the emotions between them both by using two people to show how they were drifting apart but then coming close together. We done this by using a prop which was a rope, it was almost like tug of war showing the relationship between them both, pulling apart then coming back together.

Our group decided on showing statuses to the audience in our body posture e.g standing upright or slouching. We decided to make this not very clear as we wanted the audience to think. Tension was shown though the majority of Achilles role as he was shouting and had a very bold voice. Staging and movement was used to make the audience think about a character by where the characters are standing at all times and how they move around the stage which makes the audience think about what character they should focus on.

We decided to use no lighting or sound throughout our whole performance as we though it would be best to not be distracted my anything and just focus on the acting side of everything. We had to make a few changes to the structure of our extract as we thought parts were not needed or they were to long so we decided to cut things out but to make sure we definatley still had the important parts so the performance would not be confusing.
