Cabinet of Curiosities Evaluation

Cabinet of Curiosities Evaluation

For our end of term performance we performed 'Cabinet of Curiosities'. This performance consisted of a collaboration of our class group piece, our trio's and pieces we'd devised between all the classes.
I think the show went extremely well and everyone's standard of performance was very high.

One thing I would like to change if I had the chance would be just to clean up some parts that might of been a bit messy because of under preparation. I think my trio section with Molly and Beau went very well, in the end w didn't stick tot he original order of movement we had put together but I think it worked well because it looked like it wasn't a rehearsed piece which made it more real and brought to light that what we were doing to Molly was more brutal and spiteful.
One part during the group piece that I feel could have been improved was the Guantanamo section, this piece relied very heavily on the participation of the audience so we couldn't tell wether they were going to go along with it or not. Because the audience were sometimes shocked it made it difficult to get them to listen and get their full attention which made it harder to talk to them.

My favourite part of the group piece was definitely the soup piece, partially because I was completely immersed in what I was doing with my partner and also because you could feel everyone's energy in the room, everyone had completely gotten into being devoted to exploring themselves and their partner during that section, I really enjoyed being in that environment at that moment.

Overall I think this performance was successful because everyone gave all they could into the performance and worked amazingly as a ensamble to create this living piece of art.
