poltical protest

We looked at the stereo typical views on how people looked at a gay, straight, light skinned person and a young girl with a baby (which was the part I played). our approach to each of these subjects was to do a monologue and express how that person might feel, my particular monologue stressed the fact the young girl was raped and now has a baby and how society looks upon her, she felt upset, angry, and lost faith in herself she explained on how general people might look at her as a “whore,slut,tramp, unmotivated person who want to live on benefits” but when looking deeper into the issue she was raped and was forced to take the decision on having the child, she explained how people look at her in a certain way because she was young and how she felt covered with judgment. Gavin expressed a boy who put on an act that he was this hard “gangster” but then when actually speaking to him he was gay but felt like he had to cover up and because he would simply be judged. Parris showed how a person could on the outside look gay and flamboyant and like musicals etc., But was just normal and straight he expressed how your sexuality doesn’t always determine your personality and Nicki did a monologue about the stereo types on a light skinned coloured girl and the effects it has on all girls with the same coloured skinned.I think our protest was short and sweet , we put our point across with strong powerful speeches and the audience got and understood the message easily, I realised doing any kind of performance may that be a political protest or a site specific piece of work you always got to think about the environment you’re in because if you’re in the cold ion the rain and your trying to protest people will be more reluctant to come and watch your performance over a performance inside in the warmth, that would be something we should take into consideration.
