Reflection after LPC performance

Aim of Task: To do a group reflection on our Commedia dell' Arte cannovacci preparation and performance.

Description of Task: After our teacher, Steve, talked to us about what he thought of our performances in general and how he could compare them to performances by previous theater groups, we decided to do an activity that would serve as a reflection of the whole process in each of our groups.

After we joined in groups, what we did is that we had to take turns for each member in our group. What we would do is that, for each member in the group, each other member would say one sentence starting with "I really liked working with you because..." and another sentence starting with "I wish you would..." Although we did not have time for everybody in the group to go, we did mention some things to some members of the group. I really wish I could have gone, it really contributes to your personal growth to be told what you did well and what you did wrong.

Reflection: This whole process of preparing a Cannovacci for an audience taught me some things about group work in general. When I chose theater, this is one of the things I expected from the course, learning how to work with people better.

Conclusion: The performance was not the most important thing we got out of all of this, the most important things we got out of all of this are the things we learned through the process of preparing the performance. What we learned was definitely related to something that is useful in several aspects of life: teamwork. Moreover, we learned about theater and had an enjoyable experience. It was really a lot of fun.
