Teacher Feedback performance (individual)

Eden Grace you did a fantastic job! I loved your shoe sales girl character. You did a great job of creating and performing a frantic, highly strung, well meaning, eager to please character. A great choice of character to create as she was distinctly the opposite to the laid back sales assistant portrayed on the other side of the stage via the split action dialogue method. You were very audience aware, focussed and kept your Irish accent up for the entire polished improvisation I was very impressed.
