Reflection on the KK performance
1.
Joey: Guy
Nan: the pregnant woman- Celianne
David D: Lili
This group combined the stories of Celianne's journey to America and the stories of Lili and Guy together, which is really creative. Imagining Celianne didn't die in the story, they created a scene with before Celianne gets to the boat and the meeting with Lili on the street. Nan presented well about the insecurity and fears in Celianne. Also, Joey displayed the eagerness of freedom, willing to go to America to have a try. Lili showed her love toward her child and the unwillingness of new adventures. This performance is pretty logical and well presented. It illustrates the personality of all different type of people in the four stories. After Nan was saying she wants to go to America, Guy, as a dreamer, also wants to go there, but Lili doesn't. She is a more of conservative type, thinking about her son's future. The performance was awesome!

David: Guy
Yun: Lili, Night woman
Josh: Son
This group described Lili became a night woman at the end, feeding her son. Maybe Guy is not Guy but the night woman's husband, which coming from another city to see her, so he called her on the phone to start of the story. She is so surprised by the coming of Guy. When Guy saw his child, the child sees him as the angel from the story. And Guy was crying leaving the child. It expressed the breaking of the family. However, Guy escaped from the family, but he is still thinking about his son, willing to see him and greet him. It expressed the sadness and abandons in the family. Although the story is also hard to understand who is who. Moreover, it's kind of short so it needs more background or back stories to set the scenes. Maybe this group can have more creative beginnings so it will not be hard for the audiences the realize who is who.

Aaron: Night Woman
Josh: Guy
This performance was about the monologue between the two characters. Aaron represents the later life experiences in Lili after Guy has died. Aaron has been complaining of the work that he has to take care of after the leaving of Josh. And Guy has been complaining about Lili's reaction toward him before he died. This monologue showed the anger between the two characters, and also the separations of the two characters because it's not a scene, instead, it's a monologue. I find it hard to understand because dialogues between characters can be easier for the audience to acknowledge their own actions and movements( the motivations).

Helen: The unnamed female character in story 1
Grace: Lili
At first, we want to do a violent scene because, in my part of the story, I always describe the chaotic and uncivilized city. However, we were more into the presentation of relationship due to the reason of the girl moved to a safer town, and Lili is not describing the dangers in the city in her part. As a result, the relationship was then our big scene and theme. Then, we were deciding which part of the story we want to tell like maybe after the boy is gone or beforehand. In addition, we want to emphasize the desperate and missing feelings of the girl toward the boy. As a result, we use my part to be the baseline, saying I was eager to see the boy the last time in the ship, yet because of Lili, I couldn't get to see him the last time. With the feelings of missing, I sat down on the grass to release my last feelings toward the boy. Grace as the elder stranger meeting me on the street, consoling me through the period of desperate time. I think Lili might be a better person to persuade me to listen to my father because she is older than me, and she has a kid, so I think she can understand both from my perspectives and from my father's. Also, because we saw Joey, Nan and David didn't have their script out, so we decided to do it off-script so that it can make the situation realistic and emotional( caring and desperate).
