As You Like It is a comedy by William Shakespeare, it was believed to have been written during 1599 or like the early 1600s, the first publication date was in 1623 which was the First Folio. As You Like It is about Rosalind, in this case which was played by Esther Asabi who flees from persecution in her uncle's court to the Forest of Arden where her Dad is. Alongside her is her cousin Celia who I play.
The play remains a favourite in the midst of audiences and has been adapted for radio, film, and Musical Theatre.
I performed this piece on the 23rd of October 2013, I personally thought that I done the most I could do with that character. My main intention was to play the scene, in-order for me to have achieved that I had to use strong facial expressions, big gestures and at the same time be truthful and show the versatility in my character's emotions. I was un-sure at first of how my piece went when I finished I went completely blank. So I asked fellow mates that came to watch of how I done the feedback I had received from people were my energy and reactions on stage were very good and also when I was not being spoken to I still stayed in character. Cashauna also said that I should perform my piece in the Globe Theatre as well as the fact that she wants to be like me in her second year. Which really made me smile. Kevin said my piece was Hard felt and since he really knows me he noticed that I came out of my comfort zone and surprised him with some of the things I done. Especially in the beginning, when we done more of a traditional Shakespeare where we got ready to play our characters and dress up on stage. He was shocked when I came out onto the stage with my bra and leggings.
I have no weaknesses there are things I just need to improve on. I need to carry the feeling more sort of like a mask of a happy face, after the part when Bicton Watson who plays Duke Frederick, Pushes me forcefully to the ground.
There’s two things I need to work on in-order to improve and be heard on stage which is my clarity and projection. The reason why I need to work on my clarity is, as I speak people tend to hear the first few letters, vowels and miss the end of the word. For example when I say words such as ‘word, what, cupid … ‘ when I say word no one ever hears the d sound at the end but when I hear myself speaking I think I say it clear enough for people to hear and understand me.
