Mr. Fearnehough introduced and talked to us about the PPP (Practical Performance Proposal). We were told we would have to do a mock PPP for the end of year exams after the April holidays. He quickly showed us previous PPP mocks which were extremely detailed and impressive to look at. Whilst i was looking at it i was amazed but i really didn't know how i would be able to put so much detail into one piece of work. As we looked at examples more and more i got more intrigued and wanted to do it more.
As i was looking the examples i saw that:
- you have to explain everything
- you need to explore everything
- think about what more can be added or done
- Different things you should think about : costumes, make-up/masks, characters, lighting, space, props, setting, sound, choreography
- add theory in
- think about ending and opening
- think and talk about things that would not work and why
- make lots of notes
- Performance concept
- show Brainstorm
- Make sure everything works together and that it's relevant
As we made more and more notes on things to do for the PPP i got more excited and actually wanted to do it and just get started on it.
Thursday 4th of April:
Thursday we got told we were not going to be doing a mock PPP but a mock TPPP. Mr.Fearnehough explained to us that we would be doing this on our Commedia piece 'Love Wins All' that we have just finished work on. I am a bit nervous to do this because although we have practiced them before i still find my self getting very nervous speaking in front of people and showing my own work, but since we have all worked on the same thing i am less nervous. i am a little bit disappointed like Abby is because we hadn't worked on PPP's before and it would be something new for all of us to do and would show all our 'creative sides'. Mr.Fearnehough then gave us a few things to remember whilst preparing a TPPP.
- name drop practioners and theories throughout the whole presentation
- concentrate on experiences
- contrast
- use 2 experiences
- use a lot of expamples but only concentrate on a few.
After this we then talked about our Commedia piece pitches that we had all done quite a while back. We all realized that even if we thought it at the time our pitches were not perfect. Mr.Fearnehough then told us a lot of tips to make it perfect.
Talk about:
-performance concept
- mention theories used
- conventions of commedia de'll arte
- sound used
- the setting
- the story line
- the atmosphere
- and the fact our piece wants to be toured.
After we talked about this we realized that writing a pitch is much easier after a piece is finished because we all have more knowledge about the piece and we were actually in it so we know exactly what we want to do in the piece.
