Teacher Feedback performance (individual)


Lovely work with your old man character Michael! Well done on your walk and way of moving and a good choice to have a walking stick. Your freeze was absolutely fantastic! A great choice of when to freeze (falling out of the dentist chair at such a time) and a very amusing pose to have to hold and you held it very well with a great amount of energy/tension in your body (as discussed in our tableaux lesson) with good concentration. It added a lot to the scene. Keep up your continued concentration and good work in class. Well done. Teachers signature: _______________________________ Date: ______
