For Unit 8, I had to create an idea surrounding from a part of the script/book 4.48 Psychosis by Sarah Kane. After researching Kane, I got a better look in to her lifestyle and why she does what she does, She had suffered with depression for a long time and it shows tremendously through out 4.48 Psychosis. I took the idea of frustration between a patient and their helper, possibly a therapist, from the scene 6. This scene felt important to me as it showed a clear communication with someone else and not just in the speakers head. Rehearsals where difficult due to people being ill constantly and lack of discipline, this set us all back massively even though our show come together wonderfully and was executed to the best of our abilities we still could've been prepared a lot sooner than we were. I tried to keep track off what I did in each day and tried to plan for the next session but I definitely could've been more organized in my process. Due to exams we had to move to different rooms to finish our pieces in the final week, this personally through me of tremendously as we now had to work in a smaller environment compared to previously. My performance went the way differently from how I had initial planned it to because it ended with everyone coming onto the stage and was slower than expected in certain areas like the beginning which I really liked, I tried to go back to the script to take individual words as inspiration such as "Myself", "Are you?..." and "Depression is anger". I specifically loved the power from my two dancers within their acting as they really showed how they felt in their movements specifically after the main jump when the music finally reaches that high point. If I could change something from my final performance I'd change the cleanness of the choreography as it looked messier than I had envisioned, also I'd change timing as it was ever so slightly off during the middle section before the big jump as Elise was waiting far too long before hand so it didn't feel as much like a leap of faith as it had previously in rehearsal. Due to taking myself out of my performance specifically I didn't gain as much as I imagined during the beginning, however my acting skills have 100% improved which was highlighted in the opening section where I had to envision myself as someone having a psychotic episode. From this project, I have learnt to be less scared of telling others how I'd like my performance to look: I was a little worried in the beginning of my choreography process as I didn't have the confidence to speak my ideas fully but I gradually grew that confidence.
