The Performance!!

In consideration of our final performance, the response we received during the piece was phenomenal as we were not expecting such roaring laughter throughout the piece. We were delighted as we all worked really hard to create this performance and produce a funny and entertaining show, in a very over the top Cabaret style. Overall the piece worked great in the context and the highlights were definitely the usage of the banana innuendos and also the make over as these both had great responses. The costume also reinforced our characters according to the feedback we received from the audience and we were told our characterization was great. In my opinion I also think the dating show-reels at the beginning aided the performance with a different media type which contextualized what the show was going to be about and portrayed just how random these five characters were.

However if I was to change and redo our performance again I would try to add more audience participation and maybe give each character a 'man' out if the audience so there was a speed dating type atmosphere happening on the stage during the 'dating crash course'. I would further have liked to place the audience more intimately with the stage to have little boundary between the actors and audience to increase the intimidation and awkwardness.

But overall it was great fun and we were all extremely pleased with the outcome. I personally think it went 10x better than we expected and I would love to perform it again.
