For the second show, we didn't have any time to run over scenes that Sarah thought needed looking at and we went straight into the warm up and performance.
We had a bit of a larger audience than our first show and these were mainly made of of KS4 students so levels of maturity and lack of understanding was something we had to prepare for. They reacted quite differently to our first because they laughed at different moments and some moments where we had laughs at before, they didn't laugh at this time around. This worried some members of us and raised some questions on whether we were performing as well, but we needed to bare in mind that their focus shifts at different moments and parts where our last audience may have laughed are parts our current audience are concentrating on.
Our first audience were mainly made of family and friends so we might have been a bit spoilt with things such as laughs but it doesn't necessarily mean that we were any worse this time. We got positive audience feedback for this performance as well, but we had an error with Ralph's tent where it wasn't untied and didn't stay put for the first half but apparently it wasn't noticeable. Also the first audience was small enough to fit in one bank so we performed to that side for the most part but this time with a bigger audience everyone had to remember to include the side banks and project to them as well as the front so that they didn't feel left out.
I hope our next performance - and last performance - we take the experiences from our last two shows and learn from them to make our last show the best it can be. I think most importantly we need to remember not to be put off by however the audience may react and keep the energy going as much as we possibly can.
