Rodrigo Toscano

When i first stepped in the dreamland theater i didn't expect it to be as small as it was. Unfortunately I was in the back of the room by the door and couldn't hear much, especially all the noise coming from outside the door since it was open. So the first act i couldn't really hear but i did notice alot of repetition of words, like we read in class last Monday. The words they repeated in this particular performance was scrolling, pointing, selecting and clicking. Throughout the readings they said these four words continuously. Also some of the words they used in the reading i couldn't understand or didn't know what they meant.

The second performance was rather interesting and more fun to watch because they were acting it out. This was not as boring as the others because it had some humor in it. I was kinda confused what the big prop was, it looked like at tree. Also at the end how they stood up Toscano and then he said "does anybody here have a sense of development of book speak", I'm not sure why he said that with a fork and knife in his hand?

The last performance was very familiar because we read and listened to the reading in class. The reading was Balm to Bilk. I would have to say that first reading it to myself compared to the tape was very different and i interpret it different with the pauses and tone of voice. Now the difference between the tape and seeing it in person was also different i thought. The difference is actually seeing the people and how they expressed themselves with facial expressions and their tone of voice made it more fun to watch since I'm a visual person anyways. I also thought it had some humor in it when she kept on saying the word bilk, because she made it up.

I enjoyed my trip to Dreamland theater its just a shame that i couldn't really hear with all the commotion outside, people talking and the distance from Toscano and me. I thought they should of used microphones, that's just my opinion for next time.
