Week 5

 This week we spent a productive 2 hours working as a group until we got a solid plan for our piece, as well as getting the suitable space we wanted.

Our idea is to use different characters from history to set up a parents’ evening, so the audience members will take part in a parents’ evening which we set in a girls’ grammar school; the characters are a teacher from the 18^th century, a BRIT School teacher,  a Doctor from WW1, a boys’ school teacher etc.

We played about with some of the ideas we came up with last week, and found that they were good ideas, but we didn’t have much time to elaborate on those, so we felt that this was a better idea for the amount of time we had, and it was going to highlight the group’s strength in the best manner.

My weakness from this week would be that I should have come up with the ideas faster, so we can develop them in a shorter time. The more projects I work on, the more I realize the importance of sticking to timings and how important it is to keep a high pace of work; there are times when we need to spend more time on finalizing performance material, so it is always best to do the idea brainstorming quickly and purposefully to save time for the rehearsals and the final tasks, which are crucial to be perfect.

My strengths would have to be that I kept giving ideas and found that it fuelled other people’s imagination and helped to develop ideas to create our final performance. I like experimenting with spaces and various ideas, and I believe I am a good team player.
