Doing this exercise made me realizes not only how deep and contextually detailed Shakespearean teachings and works are but it also help me understand it better as I personally struggle grasping Shakespearean concept.I hope to complete this relaxing exercise again to further understand and develop my understanding of Shakespeare and his works.

When we received the question our main idea was to write about how Shakespeare ND Restoration theatre were both connected with each other and how they have influence drama and theatre in our modern society.But our main challenge was converting our ideas to a suitable performance that w ill not only appropriately answer the question but also to keep the audience entertained. It was also particularly challenging for our group because we had Heather off for all of the lessons we had to work on the assessment Heather played a prominent role in the handwriting and I particularly struggled to change the lines and cube with one less group member. After the script was complete I was definitely challenged by coming up with the blocking of the performance as I personally felt that our grouped lacked teamwork in presenting ideas and equally helping with the work load as well as committing to rehearsals.It was challenging also to reach the standards that I know the group can achieve without the commitment and determination to learn lines and blocking before the deadline from every member. After our group seemed prepared for the performance we were notified that Heathers lines and blocking must be included in the performance even if she was absent on the presentation day. This meant that we had to redelivers the script again as well as change the blocking to fit in another member. I definitely found this to be very confusing on our group as we were all impoverished about the lines and queues we were learning as it was constantly being changed. But luckily we received an extension on our assessment that definitely improved the groups confidence in performing the piece without using the script.I hope that in our upcoming performance we will be able to reflect to the audience the hard work that was put into the performance essay despite the complications hat occurred. In my opinion writing and performing the essay has been the most challenging drama assessment yet and I hope the next assessment will suffer better luck and circumstances. In the future I hope to be more organized with the number of work each person gets so that every member of the group will equally work on the assessment and one member wont be overloaded. I also now understand how mu ch of a difference lack of energy can make to a performance and I hope that I have developed on these skills in not only increase the energy that I have but also my teammates which will evidently engage the audience better.
