Drama coursework: response portfolio Scaramouche Jones :: essays research papers
Drama coursework response portfolio Scaramouche JonesThis year in year 10 G.C.S.E. drama we have been studying Justin Butchers mould Scaramouche Jones. We file, discussed, developed and preformed certain parts of the play and using some of the explorative strategies of drama we gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of the play text that was explored.Before we began to get wind the play text we were retch into groups of 2 and we were made to perform a one minute piece of a clown show. This sketch was based wholly on our own interpretations of a clown act. This helped us to get into the character of a clown for what might have been our first epoch. For this piece I was personate into a group with Stephanie Gorsach. We preformed a classic slap aim comedy clown act e.g. throwing imaginary pies and hitting each other.After we did this piece we began to read the play text for the first time. My first impression of the play was that it was very odd and was going to be incr edibly boring. I was wrong The first atom of the play we explored was he opening scene. In the first section of the play we first meet Scaramouche Jones. We find out that he is a clown as he comes in from one of his many performances.Our first piece of performance was a 2 man show. It was the first scene of the play. For this piece I was put into a pair with Tashan Baptist. This piece was surprisingly hard for a first major piece as we had what I thought was a short time of 2 weeks to perform the piece. This was made even harder by the expectations of our teachers and the amount of pressure. This was our first introduction to the character of Scaramouche Jones. This piece helped me to experience the character for myself and after doing the slap stick clown act with Stephanie I could just about imagine how tired he would be at 100 years old.The next piece of culture that we did was the thought tracking process. For this piece we were put into small groups and asked to act out what we thought Scaramouche would be feeling at that moment in time. Unfortunately I missed this lesson but I asked one of my class mates to help me by going over this with me.
