    My devising experience went well. I had fun doing it. I felt good preforming a play me and my group had created. For me it was different because In the play I was the one who was getting picked on. I haven't really gotten picked on so I didn't really know how to act, I guess that if Someone was getting picked on they would be sad and depressed. Also the characters mom died in the play, so not to joke around the character could've been suicidal because that's a lot to take in. My group did an ok job but I think we would've did better. It was our first try so we was a little quite and not sure what to do. But then later into the play we got in our grove and spoke up more. It was hard to talk when other people is talking an example is like a fight. Everyone is talking and you can't hear what's happening. I learned to feed off your partner, let them talk and when they finish, think about what they said and then make a interesting response. Watching other groups I seen better ways on how to have good facial expressions. Also I saw different ideas to add to my own performance.
      My group and I had two plays. We perform one but we also like the other one. For the graded project we're going to perform the second play. The reason why is because it's a comedy and we like it the way it feels. It would be easier to have funny not so serious expressions then to have so emotional, sad expressions. We want the crowd to be more engaged and with something  like a comedy that's how they would be  because they would be laughing and laughing is a sign of happiness, instead of being sad for a kid that is getting bullied in the previous play. The second play is about an old man withtreasure in his backyard. kids come and try to find it but then the old man tries to scare them off and ends up having a heart attack. The kids steal the treasurer then later finding out the old man that died was there grandfather. Tragic but we turned it into a comedy. Hopefully we perform the play good and receive a great grade. My partners and I have been practicing well so I think we will do be able to do that.
