IB Lit & Per Ivan Kapkov

This project gave me an opportunity to explore and go deep into the production industry. This project helped me to develop the bases of the leadership and directing skills. I’ve finally understood how hard it is to contribute yourself to one topic and grow it from the bases. By developing this project from its base I developed self-commitment to the group as one, I wrote the plot of the story, the main idea, and all the props and the lights. I think our performance was creative and engaging to watch for the audience. Computing new characters to the story was a strong and exciting idea what helped us to modify the story itself.  Our performance was mainly focused on creating similar perspective, however while being pressured by an influence of two mythical characters which certainly brings contradiction from the original version of this story. My group and I developed a chemistry that helped us throughout the rehearsals and the final performance, by listening to each other's lines w...

Telling a story or performing, in this case, requires you of fitment and trust towards yourself, before trusting others and letting do their part of any job you have to be confident in yourself. When it comes to a point when you have to perform in front of people/audience, you have to trust not only your peers, at first you have to believe in yourself.

All the scenes performed are the blocks which create the perspective and the theme of the story that each actor wants to deliver to the audience. To highlight the specific literary elements, each actor has to emotionally develop throughout the performance for the audience to penetrate inside the central theme of the story. Every scene effects on the emotions growth that characters/actors deliver to the audience, those emotions reflect on everyone which would conclude the overall scene and actors level of performance. Every performance has to provide specific conflict whether it’s Man Versus Self, Man Versus Society, Man Versus Man, Man Versus Nature, Man Versus Supernatural. Conflict of the story usually is the climax which is the central part if the performance which will catch audience attention, to formally deliver the battle it has to be ori...

For class today -- (also posted on the blog): Uta Hagen’s Nine Questions 1. Who am I? Who is your character? The character who I'm going to perform and introduce to the audience is the Devil. A character who only tries to help mother but at the same time doing a favour for himself. He is a Satana a religious character, who could possibly be over a thousand years old. He is tall, has a dark soul/personality. He doesn't feer of anything besides losing his powers.  2. What time is it? This story comes to form the perspective of people from the 21 century. It's a night time, winter 12:30. 3. Where am I? The story comes from a small country called Haiti. Our performance is placed in a small apartment with only one room that is divided into two. There will be two beds, one curtain that divides two sides, a desk/table, and a mirror. 4. What surrounds me? What is happening in the environment around you? It's a hot night out, it'...
