Strength and Weakness of Performances

After seeing the performances of my peers and reviewing the one by myself, I found lots things that can make the performance either attractive or boring to the audience.

Based on the reflection and the suggestions from people, the use of singing is adored by most of them. Firstly, it is more stressful and challenging for people to prepare a singing for a poem. Therefore, people tend to expect to see the result of their preparation. The other thing that makes the audience excited is the use of body movements: to dance to jump to hug oneself. The use of effective facial expression can also make people have a deeper understanding of the poem and be concentrated as well. Most importantly, whatever people do, if their voices are not loud enough, people will be bord.

In my opinion, the things that make a performance boring can be summarized as “the lack of expression”. When people’s voices are too small, no one would hear it. That’s not only boring but also confusing. Also, it is necessary to have pauses in between lines, especially the lines that are more abstract or have a deeper meaning. Also, it is important to have a contract in the performance, showing the “big” and the “small” by using the change in voice or body movements. When the performance seems flat, without dynamics, it would likely to be considered a boring performance.
