Blogologues: Task 4


Part 1: My group consists of Shubham, Ulughbek, and Armin, with Noshin as our leader. The topic that we have been given is "love and marriage." To myself, love and marriage is a topic that is very broad, with many types of it and many views about it. The perspective of love and marriage's impact on life, and life's impact on love and marriage really interest me. My friend Noshin and I have frequent conversations about love and marriage and often times we speak about the different affects of both. I believe that love without marriage would be completely catastrophic In my group, I would like to convey the message of love and marriage and how it comes together or it does not really work out.

Part 2:

Blog 1: http://momgrind.com/category/happiness-2/

This blog talks about a mother's happiness. It relates to the theme "love and marriage" as motherhood comes along a few years after marriage. It appeals to me because my mother speaks about her happiness, or expresses her sadness and relates it to her children (us), and tells us about how we impact it. I think it would adequately showcase my abilities because I would be good at helping in the staging. If I were to justify my reason to perform this blog, I would tell my group leader that I am placed in a similar situation at home most of the time, therefore I could stage it in a realistic manner. I would be able to perform this blog as it relates to me personality. My strengths as a performer is to be loud, energetic, and out spoken, therefore I would be able to perform this as the mother, or I would be good at staging as I can relate to it.

Staging: I would place the actor in the center, and have tableaus on the right and left of the center stage. When the actor would speak about her family members, they would perform their tableaus.

Lighting- The lighting would be on the actor in the middle, but when it is time for the tableus, there would be lights on them.

Sound- Sound wouldn't be necessary, but a calm music would do

Costume- The mother should wear motherly clothes, and the children should wear clothes like children.







Blog 2: http://www.projecthappilyeverafter.com/2009/09/i-love-you-but-i%E2%80%99m-not-in-love-with-you/

This blog gives the reader relationship advice and tells them about what to when they is a crisis between two married people. Even though I cannot relate to the situation, it still appeals to me as I always enjoy talking about relationships and I think it would be able to adequately showcase my abilities because I tend to give my friends a lot of relationship advice. If I were to justify my reason to perform this blog, I would be tell the group leader that it would be an interesting topic and it falls perfectly under "love and marriage". I would be able to perform this blog as it relates to me as I enjoy telling people about my perspective of relationships. My strengths as a performer is to be outspoken, and I believe that I have a soothing voice as well which could be used to convey the messages.

Staging: A person on stage with a whiteboard, table, and a marker in center with the both downstage and in the centre.

Lighting- The house lights would be turned off, and the light would be focused on the center and downstage- slightly dimmed on the right and left wings.

Sound- There could be a calm music in the background, although it is not necessary.

Costume- The actor could wear anything neutral.

Blog 3: http://lovetruthfully.com/

This is a beautiful blog about a couple's relationship. It speaks about how they met and their journey together. It really appeals to me because I absolutely love listening to love stories and about how lovers meet, and I think it would adequately showcase my abilities because I would love to act in it, direct it, and design costumes for it. If I were to justify my reason to perform this blog, I would tell the group leader about how I could contribute to the blogalogue and help others as well. I would be able to perform this blog as it relates to my interests. My strengths as a performer is to be energetic, and I think I can into the character of the people in the blogs as I love to speak about love stories.

Staging: If this were to be staged, I would have two actors that act what they are saying. This is an inspiration from the blogalogue live performance that I watched about the cockroaches. The lights turned on when she said "as I turn the lights on" and she picked up her shoe as they said "so I took my shoe".

Lighting- The lighting would be bright and focused mainly in the center of the stage but not too towards the sides.

Sound- There would be a happy, uplifting music sort of to get the audience to understand the sketch better.

Costume- The costume would definitely have to be cute, flirty, and girly for the girl and smart and handsome for the boy.
