What activities did we do today?


What ideas did you/your group come up with?
Today was the day we had to finish our whole 10 minute performance, we had to link the rest of the other 4 groups piece to ours, as my groups piece was the starting of the performance. It made it easier to clump together our ideas as most of the groups had the same ideas as one another. For example Rory's group was similar to ours so we combined it with the piece we'd created the week before, we did this by taking pieces of his groups original scene and placing them in areas of our scene where we felt it was suitable. We then worked on getting everyone on stage with us without affecting the feel of our piece so we decided to make everyone toys to create an atmosphere of a child's, then during the physical theatre bits it allowed everyone to move and made the stage very busy for example when we had the fish on stage everyone turned into fish swimming around and it nicely allowed a smooth transition to everyone else's pieces.

Why have you chosen some of these ideas to develop further? You need to EXPLAIN WHY?
One of the ending group piece's we developed (Roseby's group) 4 of them were lined up next to each other doing different movements, we decided to make a row of 4 lines behind them and copy their exact movements we did that for a count of 4 and in the time of the music we headed to the back so it was a circle of us doing it, we thought of this because all of us could be involved and it could show the atmosphere more if a load of us are doing big movements.

Why did you reject some of the ideas? You need to EXPLAIN WHY?
We rejected some ideas because we thought they weren't any use anymore as it wouldn't all link together and we also thought of new ideas to make the piece better so that was an advantage working all together.

What acting skills/performance skills are you using? EXPLAIN WHY these are suitable for the piece and the target audience.
We used physical theatre which is more interesting to see than a whole script of words that most of the little children won't understand or be bothered by, we also used two songs in our performance for the little kids to be involved in, we used this to be interactive with the audience to make it more exciting for them and definatley fun.
