Come on and let the good times roll...
My first term of studying theatre and performing at Bristol has been a whirlwind of opportunities. Despite falling ill for sometime, I acted in 'Good Times' on the 3rd of November, 2016 during my assessment period. The play is about 5 women locked in a room, only to have Sam Cooke's 'Good Times' song on repeat. As I played a 'nice' woman who turns into a maniac, the role was a challenging one that pushed my vocal abilities and raised my sensitivity to psychological disorders. The story reveals an estranged but recognisable world - "think gladiatorial updated for the Starbucks generation." I thoroughly enjoyed being part of the cast and to have presented a frighteningly possible future.
Memories, the chance to reconnect with your childhood through an immersive and guided audio tour performance. Creating this performance was a bundle of fun, and that certainly included some child-like arguing. In two weeks we built script using the theme of hide and seek for our audience to admire the spaces of Bristol's Royal Fort garden and to fill in the gaps with one's own previous experiences. With the help human sculptures, we dress in primary school outfits and in primary colours to tempt our audience to play. From playing tag to relaxing amongst the grassy fields, doing two performances in one day was exhilarating. But, I was thrilled to have received an array of responses. Some were tears of joy, tears of reminiscing, or perhaps tears kept within.
In my eyes, our postmodern narrative and energetic performance has become an unforgettable, distant memory.
