Brazil Streets Performances

Peer Reflection

Group 1 (Adil's group) 7/8: This was probably my favourite act of all. This group started with ambient sounds of street performers, the tourist did not come into the scene straight away, they even attempted to sing and talk in Portuguese. It was very believable except for the part where their imaginary prop (musical instruments) disappear.

Group 2 (Poya's group) 5/8: This group showed both sides of people in Brazil, rich and poor. The only ambient sound the group had throughout the whole performance was the rumbling of a car made by one person. Some people in the audience had difficulty understanding what was going on as the actors drove by merchants in their car. Their merchants who tries to sell the rich people items seemed believable to what they may be like in Brazil.

Group 3 (Karim's group) 6/8: The setting and what was going on during the scene was very clear, portraying a busy Brazilian market. Their play was very clear and well acted out as their group was focused and did not come out of character. They were all believable but they also lacked the ambient sounds. I think that otherwise they portrayed Brazil realistically but were missing the chaos they were trying to act out. They could improve by creating the hectic ambient sounds of a fish market to make the atmosphere more believable.

Self Reflection 5/8: It seemed we would do well as each member of our group had a clear understanding of the main idea and the role we play, but when it came to acting it out in front of everyone we became uncoordinated leading to confusion of the audience. We could improve by adding in ambient sounds of the environment and make our characters more believable by acting out roles more confidently.
