After having a small work in progress showing with some other students , many questions arose about the structure of our performance and whether or not we would be able to restructure and mash up some of our scenes. There was no question that the scenes were not good just that some didn’t flow as well into others.
Many of our scenes have an over arching theme which either makes the audience laugh or think about what they have just seen. Its like a steady roller coaster into dark and light places through through the use of different texts. We didn’t want the audience to have to over-think to much so a restructure was on the cards, we wrote each of our scenes and transitions on a piece of paper and laid them on the floor. As a group we were able to discuss and develop a new structure which would enable the audience those moments of relief after one of our darker scenes. We also didn’t want to cram in all of the high energy scenes into one half of the show because then the pace and rhythm would drag .
By working together we found the moments that were lower than others and moved and changed things round. This was a good process to have gone through as it showed us everything we had altogether but also showed that we could work as a team .
