Thursday 16th April

Today we recorded the moment of choral speaking and some breath. 

Why did we do this?

How will having the pre-recorded sound support this moment of the performance? The audience will be listening to this whilst you perform on the basketball court. 

We discussed how the pieces that you are creating are relevant for a contemporary audience.

How is your piece relevant for an audience? 

How is the moment of multi-media in your piece relevant for the piece? 

Some groups did some filming today. How did it go? How will this support your piece?

What planning did you have to do before the filming?  Write the script? Rehearse? Think about the best place to film it? Costumes...? 

We then shared your scenes so far. Type up he notes you made on the groups. 

What moments are successful and why? 

What meets need to be developed and why? 

How did the pieces become relevant for a contemporary audience?
