oral revision
1. I chose the story “ Caroline’s Wedding” from " Krik Krak" Edwige Danticat in the adaptation my role is Ma C's mom who is a nagging person
The reason for choosing this story
● ( have many things to write about) I can clearly know what is the theme of the story, I think the theme relationship and identity is also the theme the book want to express so that I chose this story
●There are three main characters in this adaptation. I like this story because in the story there are many stories between each character that we can adapt. ex-original text in scene two is Caroline Grace and Ma. add more conflicts
I think it's pretty good to be as a piece of theater
● The story is well organized we have start conflict and the ending
● The conflict is clear, the audience can notice where is the conflict. brokes the Teddy bear, ma push Eric
2.
● I think the themes of our story is the relationship between each character. Because the whole story is about how does each character improve their relationship with the other two during the whole process. Ma and Caroline's relationship The relationship between each character is very special, the mom from Haiti, daughter is an American citizen, Eric and Ma's relationship.
The identity, She can’t understand her daughter very well because they live in a different country, they have different backgrounds. Ma loves Caroline but Caroline can't accept ( keyword bone soup: Haiti culture leave Eric) The bone soup is important because it let the story continue and it also let Ma and Caroline have an argument. (teddy bear American Culture more freedom)
My character is Ma who is a nagging person and she also can't accept American culture. In scene two she keeps talking to Caroline to show that Ma cares too much about Caroline. She doesn't like Eric because she still maintains the Haitian tradition, she likes Haitian man
The story, by acting Ma I learned that
Love (Ma: Should respect other's choice everyone is different, Caroline: should listen to your heart
Relationship ( keep a good relationship is important to a family, daughter grow up shouldn't care about anything)
● Conflict is the argument between me and Caroline,
Caroline and Ma have a different perspective of love.
Caroline thinks Eric is the right person, and Ma thinks Haitian man can give her happiness.
Ma also shows conflict with Eric because she does not trust him. But after having a conversation with him, changed her idea.
3.
● memorization I prepared for the final( keep memorizing the lines, I also keep
practicing with my partners in class).
● performance development
1. emotion
character ma must show the power and the relationship between Eric and Caroline
1. body language hit the table, put the hand under my chin
2. facial expression
● steps of scene change
1. How to become faster
2. Where to go during the scene change
● music
● Position on the stage
● In order to show Ma’s confusion and her difficulties, I write her feelings all into the monologue. I think monologue is better than add a scene because I want to use the monologue to show Ma's feeling and the changing of her opinion. The monologue is from Ma's thought that Haiti culture is good, to understand her daughter and then understand her daughter and decide to changer herself. I think adding a monologue is more vivid.
4.
●In Scene two, the relationship between Ma and Eric, Ma and Caroline, increase the volume when I say" you stop calling me mom" to show that Ma doesn't like Eric and She thinks Eric can't be Caroline's Fiance. It can also show Ma's power in this family add body movements, hit the table, leave the table to show that she is angry about Caroline.
In the monologue part, I added body movements walking around, the facial expression I frown to show that Ma is confused about also care about Caroline but why Caroline doesn't understand. I used soft voice to ask Eric to give back the teddy bear to Caroline to show that Ma changed her opinion about Eric. Change her thought of daughter's love
● keep talking in scene two, to show her characteristic: talkative, care about everything about her daughter but not Eric ( doesn't care not to serve him well) Eric is guest
● In scene 3 when I have an argument with Caroline, when I first time calling Caroline to drink the bone soup I used a soft voice, but when I third time calling Caroline to drink the bone soup I raised My voice to show Ma is angry, broke the teddy bear I use facial expression to show Ma is angry
●We have a special set up of the scene triangle.
It as same as Wall, Eric Ma stand in two sides of the triangle. can't see each other
● Ma sat in the middle of the table to show her power and Ma's chair is much better than the other two chairs
5.
I think I did a big improvement compare the final to the first time.
I set lots of plans and I also talked to my partners, In order to have a better final performance.
I think I tried my best. I think after practicing with my partners I and my partners did a great job on cooperation.
6.
Successful:
Emotion express, speaking clearly and fluently. Not nervous anymore. The first-time shy final is more active
Work on
I should add more movement for the monologue. I was like standing all the time
next time just stand there and add body language-facial expression watch other's adaptation video. I should use more time to find a costume that fits me.
7.
How to perform a play well
1. practice more
2. have good cooperation with partner
3. be more confident
4. should have eye contact with your partner when having the conversation more vivid just like daily life
