Devising (25) - Performance Evaluation

What went well:

• The lighting looked effective - we had different lighting for each story (I had yellow lighting for mine to create an old-fashioned atmosphere).
• The sound cues were all correct and worked well. 
• Our transitions were smooth as we had pre-set all of our props carefully and agreed who would move what.
• Our timing with our movement pieces were good.
• I changed my shoelace section on the floor to make it clearer.
• Our dialogue was all naturalistic. 
• Our characterisation for our own scenes were good, on the whole. 
• Our volume / projection was better.
• I think our spacing was fairly good on the whole - we used the entire space and had good proxemics throughout.

What could have gone better: 

• We could have had a clearer cut off with dialogue at the end of Lewis' scene as there was quite a long pause afterwards. To solve this we could have decided on a clear ending line. However, this wasn't too much of an issue as we all just froze.
• We had an issue with the tables coming on for Ollie's scene. Firstly the table leg got caught in the table - although the start of this section wasn't delayed at all, this could have been avoided by taping the bottom of the curtains down or tucking them right out of the way. Then, the table got wedged by the other table. This never happened before and nothing could have been done to prevent this, however, I felt we dealt with it as smoothly as we could.
• There was a slight issue with the movement in Ollie's scene at the train station - what was supposed to be regimented and organised movement was a bit messy! To prevent this, we should have gone over it a few times before the performance, as this was the part we had done the least. However, it wasn't too much of an issue as it showed how chaotic everything was due to this supernatural occurrence.
