Today we went to see the swift group 1 who did there own monologues that they had written and then performed this is what I thought of them.
Each one of them must have found it difficult to perform them especially as some as them had to pretend to be a different person or to see a different point of view, like Michelle who had to pretend to be a lesbian and really showed and gave the audience the true feel of her emotions and how a real lesbian might feel.
Sioben was the first to go and her monologue was about her leaving her boyfriend because he used to get drunk and beat her. Seeing as she was the first one to go she was very confident and also looked at the audience as she went. Seeing as she had to make it up from scratch she showed real emotion and it felt like she meant it.
Grace was the second person to go and her monologue was about her family and her mum had left her and her dad. This is quite a difficult topic to do anyway and she showed real confidence and she also light housed the audience.
Charly was the third person to go and she did about going to the dentist. Seeing as this is a small topic but its a thing everyone hates she made it seem really scary and she showed her characters emotions really well.
Owen was the fourth person to go and he did about proposing to his girlfriend but she ran away or had died. He was good with his confidence but his emotions weren't very good. He didn't act as if his girl friend had just run away. His confidence was really good though.
Michelle was the fifth person to go and she had to pretend she was a lesbian. She fancied this girl who had a boyfriend and her parents had kicked her out because of it. Her confidence was okay and she didn't walk around at all. She did light house the audience and her emotion was really good.
Ryan was the sixth person to go and he was pretending to be an actor who didn't like a script that had come to him so he rang his agent and when his agent told him how much he was going to be paid he took the job. Ryan was really good with his confidence and also I think enjoyed his character he played. He was a little over the top though.
Febienne was the seventh person to go and she did a dark monologue about her meeting a witch that gave the man of her dreams. She was good because she acted out bits and she gave real emotion. I liked hers a lot.
Sarah was the eighth person to go and her confidence was good but she repeated her self a lot and she didn't have very good emotion.
They were all good in their own ways and there confidence was amazing. Im glad we watched them.
