Charlie and the chocolate factory

In and out of the class i have heard amazing things about the musical that took place in the ais-r theatre which made me regret not going to the performance even more. I really liked the setting in the theatre it was very creative and artistic. It was well organised, produced, and directed. I've heard the actors singing during choir class and i was impressed with their singing.

Alias presentation

i liked the way she introduced her topic by wearing a japanese mask and also by linking it back to where she comes from and how she is exposed to the art and theatre that is performed there The revitalization of german theatre art. I also liked how she was confident and her voice was clear and she was not speeding up. The video is clear and she was dressed professionally which enhanced her presentation presence. It was very organised and creative which gives me ideas for our presentation. I like how she used posters and quotes to further explain her points.Image result for presentation

summative a dolls house

A Dolls House by Henrik Ibsen.

Realism and naturalism were used throughout the play. It shows the social issues that people were going through in the 19th century. Women did not usually have the choice of leaving their homes and families they were usually controlled by their parents or husbands, but in A Dolls House, Nora, the wife decides to leave her home after being treated like one of the kids. In the scene we performed, we created TEAM which is tension, emotion, atmosphere, and meaning to reach the "Uhh" moment. We used symbolism by using macaroons that symbolise Nora as a child as she throws them inside Mrs. Linde and Dr.Ranks mouths. I really enjoyed acting the scene and playing the part even though understanding the old language and putting into our own context was hard it was interesting.
