To revise our draft, I think that we will need to plan when we have our back to the audience and when we don't. Having our back to the audience is usually something that you try to avoid, but for the idea of not being remembered and having a name, it is important to the story. I will also note that we will need to have our voiceovers and music timed well so that there is a good feeling evoked when the scenes are conducted, The introductory song is important because it allows us to set the tone without even saying anything. I will need to address my mother in a very cautious specific way because we did change some of the aspects from the story and how that relationship changes compared to the one that I have with David and the emotion that I have when I am writing. something that I want to focus on is being fairly unemotional when I am writing and progressively more emotional as the scene goes on and I continue to lose different emotions. For clarity, I think that the projection of my voice and emphasis while my back is turned will be the most important thing because the audience will not be able to see my face so they will need to get my emotions through audio. 

As far as strengthening my performance I think that adding some more motion to my character will be good, changing up where I stand in my section of the stage will add levels and depth to my part, but also show the size and quality of where I am living. I think that I want to deliver some of my lines very quietly, and play on the more passive side of my character to show her innocence and the true destruction that has become of her life. I know that many times I project very loudly, but I think for this performance I will need to do the opposite and make it very contrasting with what I have done before.
