As I started on the podium, I felt much more confident in performing to the audience and felt more comfortable than I thought I would be. I started strong on my first liner which is what initially catches the audience's attention and already gives an insight into the feel of the monologue. My transition to the second section could have been practised more, as I just turned around and then begun my next monologue. I would have changed it by straight away stepping off the podium into the audience. However I am happy I improvised by choosing to go out into the audience for a closer, more personal performance. My 2nd part was actually from earlier in 'Much Ado About Nothing' to my 1st part, which I really should have performed first so it made more sense to the storyline. Overall I am happy with my performance which has given me more confidence to do this in random public places.
Linking to this, we also performed mini flash mobs in various locations such as a food shop, by busy market stalls and even on the bridge. This gives us a chance to experience different staging conditions and audiences, which was at first a challenge as we had to approach unexpecting people and remain in our characters the whole time.
