Reaction to the Compositions

Last week we showed our compostitions to the class. Viewing the different groups performances I can totally see how vastly different our personalities are. Personally, I enjoy these differences. With group #1 i enjoyed how they used the head scarves (props!) to show their topics of discussion. How they had a SURPRISE entrance coming up from the bushes was interesting. And believe it or not I loved how Anja was using her inner actor and creating the evil character that was racist against turks. Bravo Anja, bravo.

Group #2 really showed how to use the different levels in a composition effectively. By moving up the steps you begin to see visually how the history becomes heightened. I also enjoyed the abstract hello and goodbyes. It made the group move all around and yet they all came together at the same time bonded by the greetings. Plus, Michael's remote control music was always a huge plus in the production.

Group #3, in my opinion, had the best location. The two stairways that led to different heights was a great visual and automatically your eye was drawn to the surroundings. Plus, the SURPRISE entrance from behind the audience was unexpected not only because it caught us off guard, but also because she spoke, but she could not be seen. I loved it! nice choice!

In our Yarts group, I really enjoyed getting to know my peers. This process helps you begin to trust and bond with your group members. You begin to see each other's strengths and try to manipulate those strengths to create a unified project. Go yarts! (honestly, i should make t-shirts...)
