My reflection on my piece
https://youtu.be/ZdnGqdQ8IuY
The monologue project is really intriguing and interesting; we get to choose and read from a range of different books and monologues. The finding moment is interesting since this piece of monologue is either meaningful to you or you find it really connected to yourself in particular. I didn't know many pieces of monologue, so I want to read from different monologues to get the feelings or the connections that I will feel; thus, I choose Fed Up to be my monologue.
At first, it's difficult because there is a lot of changes and dynamics in the characters, and I wanted to encounter them. In the first couple sentences, I am asking Jam if I could stay in her house because of the conflicts between my parents. Then, I start to explain to my friend about what's going on in our family: the ignorance, the fighting, and my helplessness. With this part sets, I attempt the ask Jam if I could stay here tonight for avoiding seeing my parents. Moreover, Staying one night is not enough for me, I try to ask her if I could stay here as much as possible. The emotions varied as well; from the beginning, I am begging her to let me stay in her house, explaining reasons that why I cannot stay in my house. Yet, I am then to the point complaining about my family, about the fighting, and in this moment, the madness and distraught come right into me. I show it with standing up, rambling and complaining the bad sides of my parents; moreover, I walk across the stage several times to show my anxiety and the complaining side of it. Sometimes, I watch some shows, and when people are in anger or anxiety, they tend to walk around to show it, so I add this part to my performance. As this happens, my voice gets louder and at the same time, I create some tearing sound into my piece. To the highest point "My parents have no idea how miserable they are making me."
Also, there is a part when my character says " they don't even know their daughter is on the verge of a nervous break down. In order to show the break down and the sadness, I crawl into my arms, lowering my body, using my hands to hold my head. This further shows the desperation and the hopelessness in my character. When I try to ask Jam if I could stay here for a while, my voice changes differently than before. Before I am crying, not knowing what to do. But then, I also want to highlight the childish in my character, so as I said it, I performed it with excited voices, higher and with little hand movement.
However, I feel like my blocking is not that good because in the middle part, I don't know and I am confused where should I stand. Should I walk or should I sit in the chair. I think I need to work on that a little more.
