Our performance was showing all the feelings inside the characters head and we thought by standing around the character and saying what they are thinking would be very effective as the audience would be able to understand better. We thought this would be very effective because instead of the audience wondering what emotions they are feeling through body language etc. It would be more clear.
Our staging was vey effective as we thought it would be best to have all characters speaking around the one character that was just showing their emotions through body language. Our aim of the performance was to have one character sitting in the centre with their head down then finally at the end for them to raise their head crying with “tears” streaming down their face. In our performance voice was very balanced as we all had the same tone of voice because if we did not do this it would not sound right. Also no props were needed as we think its more effective in this specific performance to use no props.
If we were to get our point across to the audience clearer we could try different techniques or even try staging our performance differently. Maybe having all characters acting and moving with sound at the same time which may help the audience to understand more.
