Work Experience

The school's tour for the devising piece was a good experience overall as it gave me and insight of what it takes to plan and show case a piece with a group. We had to also had to be our own director's in a sense where we had to make our own decisions when it came to solving implications. In addition, especially with my leg being in the condition that it was, the group had to adapt to it.

Another good aspect about this work experience is adapting to the working space where we had to showcase our workshop and performance. It was quite useful that we had considered the use of space in our piece so it could adapt to any space and in the space we were in, there were boxes and curtains available for use, as well as lights. The lights gave it that shock factor as when the lights went out, one actor disappeared.

For the workshop aspect, it taught us to connect with a range of different characters and with their various personalities. It taught us to pass on the experience we had when in secondary school to those who may be pursuing the same ambition as we did. Furthermore, the activities in the workshop not only connected all of us but allowed us to see what activities worked, what could have been improved and what could have been added. Overall the school's tour work experience just allowed us to explore how workshops and performances can help, support and connect all of us even if we came from different pathways.
