Jamie has displayed an emerging confidence and personal style in the choice and portrayal of a character that moves him beyond himself and his personal experiences. He has successfully created a character but his dramatic enactment is uneven. Jamie needs to utilise more appropriate and meaningful gestures and body language to successfully realise the character. With a little more confidence, he would have been able to consistently maintain audience engagement with his performance. He does offer a credible, often poignant and in-character view of the wider world, and this should have been utilised in the reflection; this needed to account for the process of composition and for the decisions he made for the written and performance components. The text of his monologue is very strong, but his presentation is weakened by inconsistent attempts at employing dramatic techniques.
