When we received the question our main idea was to write about how Shakespeare ND Restoration theatre were both connected with each other and how they have influence drama and theatre in our modern society.But our main argufy was converting our ideas to a suitable performance that will not only fittingly answer the question but also to keep the audience entertained. It was also particularly challenging for our group because we had Heather absent for all of the lessons we had to work on the assessment Heather played a prominent role in the script and I particularly struggled to change the lines and blocking with one less group penis. After the script was complete I was definitely challenged by coming up with the blocking of the performance as I personally felt that our grouped lacked teamwork in presenting ideas and equally helping with the work load as well as committing to rehearsals.It was challenging also to exit the standards that I know the group can achieve without the commitment and use to learn lines and blocking before the deadline from every member. After our group seemed nimble for the performance we were notified that Heathers lines and blocking must be included in the performance even if she was absent on the presentation day. This meant that w e had to redelivers the script again as well as change the blocking to fit in another member. I definitely found this to be very confusing on our group as we were all confused about the lines and queues we were learning as it was constantly being changed. But percentageily we received an extension on our assessment that definitely improved the groups confidence in performing the piece without using the script.I hope that in our upcoming performance we will be able to reflect to the audience the hard work that was put into the performance essay despite the complications hat occurred. In my opinion writing and performing the essay has been the most challenging drama assessment yet and I hope the next assessment will bring better luck and circumstances. In the future I hope to be more unionised with the amount of work each person gets so that every member of the group will equally work on the assessment and one member wont be overloaded. I also now understand how much of a difference lack of energy can make to a performance and I hope that I have highly-developed on these skills in not only increase the energy that I have but also my teammates which will evidently engage the audience better.
