SWOT ANALYSIS

S.W.O.T EVALUATION

Strength

I’m good at many things in performance including Dance, physical theatre, stage makeup and special effect makeup.

During performances I have used different characterisation techniques to develop character and I feel as if I used each one well.

I specifically enjoy the warm up games and techniques we have been using. I find the exiting and they help me get into the performing mood.

I think I particularly excel at hot seating and thought tracking as I have the ability to understand my characters personality and deeper thoughts and emotions that they may have.

I am most confident when using the characterisation techniques particularly conscience corridor, thought tracks and exaggeration.

I feel my strengths as an overall performer lie in my dance skills and this is where I excel in but I also find reading scripts easy as I have strong literary skills.

My team skills are adequate although I sometimes struggle with communication due to having autism, I feel as if I am managing to share my ideas with my peers and listen to theirs in turn. I also feel as if I am performing well with my peers and connecting with them. 

Weakness

I feel as if I require more assistance while memorising and recalling my scripts. I have been working on techniques in order to help with this problem. I also struggle with blocking my scenes and knowing where I’m supposed to be on stage without direction this is something I still need a little help with.

I believe I need to practice projecting my voice and using tone and expressing while performing. These are all big parts of a playing a character so I really need to perfect them.

My nerves often get in the way putting on the best performance available. I often seize up and get scared and don’t deliver my lines the way they are written and this majorly effects my performance quality.

During my performances I feel as if I could have improved upon many things such as; projection, memorizing my lines , nerves , not fidgeting , status portrayal and being audience aware. 

Opportunity’s 

There are many opportunities available to me at The moment such as

·         Trips

·         Auditions

·         Live theatre

There are also opportunity’s to work as part of a group and develop my skills.

I also have access to tutor support and feedback on my performance skills.

Threats

I believe one thing that has stopped me producing a higher quality of practical work is my nerves and my difficulty to memorize scripts.

I Think the one think that stands between me and becoming an excellent performing is my self-performance and self-belief.

I may not take the opportunity’s such as trips and workshops due to confidence or lack of money, I also have to ask for parental consent which I may not get.
