The feedback session was really useful today after doing our first tech run. At the moment it's going really well and I'm appreciating as an actor the different parts of the war we are exploring. It's been suggested by our directors that we need to portray the emotions through our facial expressions as well as our body movements, which I agree with completely. I think that Amaya is doing a good job at this already. When she does her sequence movements with Jack, it really is beautiful. The way he lifts her and her elegant graceful moves - her face too shows pain and love and the fear of separation.

 I have taken this into consideration myself and believe the wives part with boxes is such a good opportunity to really... act. When I open my box, I completely put myself into the position of a WW1 woman who's just lost their husband in such a tragic event. The facial expressions are crucial in this scene because it's the best way to portray the emotions to the audience.

Another key part in the feedback was how we had to take our time during the performance and every section. Our piece as a whole isn't very long, and the choices we have made, we can afford to appreciate and make our performance longer. At the moment, I wouldn't say that we rush it but especially in the opening sequence, we could enjoy it and chill out with it all. For now, it seems like we all get up to say what the war means to us, and once the music kicks in and people fall silent one by one, no one wants to be the last one speaking so it leaves the music playing for a long amount of time before the couple's begin their sequence.

Personally, I'm going to use this feedback and improve myself within this performance. I'm going to take my time when I perform myself and focus on the acting in this performance, not just the the movements.
