Performance Reflection- Task 4

--Why did you choose the character that you did? 
As the Jock is easy to show and I am very familiar with him by watching many chick flicks and teenage-nerd movies. They also are very interesting and there are so many cliches associated with them that people will understand. There are some people around him who remind me of the jock so I am trying to do what they would do but exaggerate all the actions.
--How is that character described (personality, physicality, etc.)?
He would tend to be very sporty and fit and would like to bully people smaller than him. Women would love his strong body and he would be very flirtacious. He would be very confident in himself and his abilities and would laugh very loudly and talk loudly. He would be liked by most people around him and would love attention. 
--What "body part" is their stereotypical feature? How did you attempt to center their energy there? 

      A jock would normally love to work out and show off their muscles and try to look good to impress everyone. This is why a jock would have a lot of upper-body muscles and have a big powerful chest. He would have big strong biceps and tremendous strength. I attempted to center my energy there by pushing my chest out and having my shoulders held high. Also, I tried to not move my hands too far and I have to pretend like I have balloons for biceps as that is how muscly men walk. 

--How did you choose to interact with environment/prop? What specific interaction choices did you make? 

      I tried to talk to many imaginary people and show the many sides of the jock. He would be one second hand-shaking with his bro, next second he would be flirting with a girl, and next second he would be about to beat someone up. A jock would tend to be a very social person so I thought showing him interacting with people would be a good way to show what he is. Also, I tried to make him big and take up space and make the environment look like it was constantly changing. 

--How did you choose to "take out" to audience in order to "invite them in" to your performance? 

      This is something to work on as I feel I haven't really invited them in. My plan is to fistbump with Shoaib as people would imagine that I'm imitating him as the jock and get Rehat scared as he is very easily scared. This would make people laugh too

--What feedback did you get from your performance? 

·         Did all the elements of that I required

·         Show more chest and strength

·         Walk should have less swag

·         Varied exaggerations of the face

·         Don’t beat the guy up to the death

--What will you change for next performance?
Push the chest out even more

      Walk more straightforward and less flip-flopping around

      Change expressions on the face

      Invite the audience in by fist-pumping with Shoaib and yelling at Rehat

      Don't beat imaginary guy up, just warn him.
