A New Blog

The progress it’s pretty good. I have jot down a lot of my ideas and my goals for my solo performance. I know what I want to deliver to the audience and what I need to do in order to do that. My ideas are now written down in the other blog, which is like an outline for me and I will be writing my formal script using those notes that I have. Performance wise, I bought my clown suit, and I’m trying to figure out how to write a script for a circus performance aka a solo hilarity show. I think I have made some solid progress, and now I will be working on getting my stuff done.

I didn't do much last year so I really couldn't make any comments on that. The only thing that I think I did great is actually choosing the theorist. Until a week ago I still felt like I have set myself up to a big task, a task that is hard to accomplish since I couldn't find any distinctive definition of Dario Fo's style in addition to what is actually going on in his play. The lack of information is what intimidates me. But now I feel like maybe it is actually not too bad. After watching several Dario Fo's performances, I come to the conclusion that the content of his play does't really matter, all I need is his format of doing things, which is turning the introduction of the play to a circus performance , and then perform the play using the form of a monologuing comedy piece. I can definitely do a stand up comedy, I have done it before so I think I can one hundred percent redo what I did before. Although I'm not sure that I'm a good joke writer or an ...

My intention for this performance is as comedic, hilarious and satirical as possible. I think Dario Fo’s work combines two elements that make a great comedic piece, the element of static and the element of motion, which he then adapts these two elements into a comedic talk show, and a circus hilarity. I think my goal is to get the audience as involved as possible. Satirical lines of my comedic piece can lead people to think along with me, or even simply drag an audience on stage. The impact of my piece would be at least bringing a laugh or two to the audience. That is the point of a theatrical comedy. Because my piece is not something mysterious nor scary, even if it might look like one since there will be a clown on the stage. But it should be nothing but simple hilarity and lighthearted jokes with complexity. It’s like a comedy night. As for the talkback. I would pretend to ask the audience if they get anything deep out of my little performance. I would be pushing my audience to ...

https://youtu.be/q2qsA6UnPSA I feel like my monologue is somehow not working with the way that I performed it and I don't know why, it just looks strange to me. I think I have the emotion part of the monologue done but I feel like my emotion is not right on the spot. I still can't really see the flow of the monologue when I watch myself on the video. There are also something wrong with my posture, it is just not natural. My behavior is natural but my way of moving my arms and my facial expressions are somehow weird.
