- Narration (telani tells her in her own perspective, speaks to the audience)
- Use of African music
- Use of native language
- Addresses local issues
- African chants backstage
- Flashbacks (Telani remembers what she has experienced)
Being an army officer, I was having the aspect of narration.
As a police officer, I had to dance as one of the essential elements.
These elements are about a community and talking about community issues.
Differences and Similarities between fausa and "stage sisters" or other plays recently seen?
-Narration
-Contextualization at the end
-Heavy use of stage props
-Time (non of them was linear)
-Language (both use langages appropiate with their own plays)
--Address local issue
For criterion B
How did you experiment with and apply the "essential elements" skills and concepts of fausa?
Gestures where something that you had to experiment with African theater.
Your critical reflections on the production of Fausa.
I think it was good. People liked it, some people told me I looked like Hugo Chavez, the president of Venezuela. I think a way I could have done it better is to look at dictators of Africa actually, instead of just imitating dictators that I was already familiar with.
Your connections between your work in Fausa and the course as a whole?
I used stanislavski learned last year mostly for fausa. Also the growing movements were useful during the speech for the army officer. High status was also something that I used for the officer, which meant, slow movements and high voice.
