Evaluation of performance

We did our assessed performance of The Cherry Orchard on the 14th of October,  I feel that the performance went incredibly well despite some doubts during the rehearsal process. With the help of a brilliant cast and a great director we pulled off a successful show.
For my performance of the character of Ranyevskaya I think I've used the methods of stanislavsky well during rehearsal and performance, the use of characterisation, private, personal, public, objectives and given circumstances have helped me to deliver my lines successfully with meaning. I really felt as if I was living through that character. All the research into her and her lines during rehearsal really made me understand her character and how she feels about her home and family.
One person I thought pulled off an excellent performance was Skye, he took on advice given during rehearsal and really thought about what his character's objective was in the scene and played off other actors in the scene he was in really well. Although he had difficulty with objectives during the first couple of rehearsals he worked at it and came put with a great improvement.
One criticism I have to make about our final performance was the organisation backstage. It's difficult to work under a stressful condition and us as a cast did get quite agitated when we were trying to listen out for our cues and organising everyone backstage at the same time. Luckily I don't think anyone actually missed and cues and managed to get on stage on time but it was a close call.
