When we first found out that we were going to be performing "Posh" for our FMP and when we found out what it was about, I was excited because I thought that it would stretch all of us and would be an exciting challenge and I was right.
I have to admit even though I'm not the girliest, well....girl I did find it hard to play the opposite sex, but with great observation (luckily most of the class is men) I think I did a pretty good interpretation of a man.
During the rehearsal process, I have learnt the importance of backstage acting when you aren't speaking because if everyone checked out when they aren't saying anything the play would be very boring and in real life we react to things that are being said when we don't speak.
I am grateful for the vocal training that we had to help us speak posh because although I know that most of us thought it was torture, it did pay off.
I think that we had quite a difficult job working with water and food because we had to be aware of spacial awareness at all times and not just of each other but with bottles and glasses.
Overall, I have thouroughly enjoyed this exerience and I would happily do it again and I know I'm not the only one!
