Throughout the first year of this course I have picked up
various skills that may benefit me in the future of dramatic arts. For example,
breaking down and analysing a script of what the line may be implying or the
scene may be portraying. In addition, a building up of who I am as a person and
an actor have grown which may relay to characterisation of role given to me. It
can be also be said that a personal objective for me has been improved with my
articulation and diction when speaking in a performance which has benefited off
the stage too. This has helped me build my confidence in performing as I have
also been taught to take my own risks and to be myself in the character as much
as I could as the future me wanting to attend Drama School requires you to
select a monologue representing you.
I am proposing to do a performance that may be based off a
plot that has been a play and a film. Lion King has been spurring in my mind
for a while as it has always been a childhood favourite to me and ever since I
have seen it performed on stage, I have always wanted to partake in the
production. In order for this to go ahead, I would need a lot of rehearsal time
as each scene takes a lot of time to block and perfect as this plot is well
known to many people around the world and each scene must be done correctly
clearly portraying the scene contributing to the main plot. This requires the
drama studios and a lot of help from other students who have knowledge on
operating lights and sound in order for the production to be complete. Research
by others after their auditions may need to be done about their character in
order for them to fully understand who their character is and how they should
be portrayed. In addition in rehearsal times, feedback by other students is
encouraged as this may help other actors develop the character in a manner
where it is understandable to the audience.
As Lion King is mostly based on ensemble work, many of the
actors are required to come up with different choreography styles to come out
of their comfort zones in order to fulfill their role to the fullest. Although
in the original film some parts were not included on the stage play, I feel as
if seeing the plot on stage made me realise that those parts might make the
production that I want to go ahead on doing are including those parts. I might
intend on using the combination of different scripts to make the performance
unique in some aspects making the scenes still effective with the original base
plot with added songs depending on the actor’s opinions as well as the rest of
the ensemble and what they think may also work best with the performance.
