Campaign Performance - "She is abused"

Today was the day of our performance. We had to perform to around 40 year 11 students. We performed in the David Sharp Theatre. I think that our performance was good because it got the message across to our audience and because the people that watched the performance they thought it was good and clear. Also some of the people in the audience told there friends and family about our performance. I think that people are more aware of abuse because it can get serious at times and people can get hurt very much or even die. In our performace we were showing our audience about 3 different issues that can happen to some of the students in our school. One was about a girl that is being forced to wear a scarf by her mother and is being abused by her mother because she takes her scarf off in school. Another issue we were looking at was about 2 twins called Sonia and Sally and Sonia is fat and the Sally is anorecsic because her mother doesn't feed her enough food. There mother abuses Sally and Sonia is witnessing her mother abusing Sally. The final issue we were looking at was about a video vixen that is treated unfairly and gets fired from her job because she complains about the other video vixen.

Today we were working on our performances and we were fixing the first 2 scenes. My group done the classroom scene as the first scene. Before we done that scene second but we changed it. We done the music video scene for our second scene so that it would make more sense about the plot. We had the music video scene first before but we decided to change it. We got homework today. Our homework is to write some essays about our campaign.

We had a dramatic lesson today so we can think about how to make the message of our campaign across to the target audience. We had to spell our names in different movements. After that miss put us into pairs and then we had to learn eachothers movements. We had to perform them in front of the whole class. We also looked at a poem that Tracy Chattman wrote"Behind the doors". We had to pick 3 sentances of the poem and make 3 freeze frames and add transition in between them. We performed it to the whole class and performed it in two different types of music and see how our body language and facial expressions change along with the atmosphere.
