Oral presentation outline/ first draft

To adapt the story of My Love, My love, or the peasant girl, I transformed the story of Ti Moune, the leading character, into the version of the Little Red Riding Hood. Ti Moune was a peasant girl who travelled to a big city to find her rich life, or find her true love to engage with. I found the circumstances of most fairy tales are similar so and the journeys of the little red riding hood and Ti Moune are similar. It’s because they are both traveling to the place to which they love through a forest and faced many difficulties. The characteristics of both leading characters are similar that they both are firm and brave. Then, the troubles in the journey are also showed by transforming the wolf to Papa Ge. For the end, the story that I showed was different than the fairy tale that Ti Moune finally left lonely in case to tell the purpose of the scene that the reality isn’t a fairy tale so people can’t always dream to be lucky.

Then, I acted as Erzulie and Andrea in this scene. They are different characters. Erzulie was the kind one who led Ti Moune to her true love and helped her a lot in her journey. She was shown as the farmer or hunter who helped the little red riding hood in that story. However, Andrea was different that she was a perfect woman who Ti Moune’s love finally marries with. She didn’t do anything wrong, but it’s actually her, who totally breaks Ti Moune dream. They are two different figures both having an important role in the scene. In the oral, I will tell detailed about how does Andrea’s gorgeous contrast with Ti Moune’s peasant kind and also what kind of moods that Erzulie has to help Ti Moune.

On the other hand, for the staging, I’m going to talk about how the stage looked like. There are two settings in the scene. The first one is forest that there’s a tree in the middle and the wall with plants and flowers surrounded by. The second setting isn’t change a lot that I weren’t that able to change all the setting, but there’s a couch to show that it was in the city and Daniel’s home. Also, I used different props to show how the plots went through. For the scenes when Ti Moune goes on journey, Andrea and Daniel meets, Papa Ge controlled Daniel; there are also different sets of sounds effect to emphasize the emotion. There were blackouts when each of the scene ended.

For my performance, I will talk about it basically based on my scripts and show how I clarify each characters I have and show how I showed the meaning of each of them.

Lastly, for the conclusion, I will talk about why the scene show the cruel of reality and what’s the importance to make sure the difference between the reality and fairy tales. Also, there are lots of things for me to improve based on my emotion expressing and other expressions as well.
