Production Meeting 10.3.14

To start with Jonathon gave us an article on how to make an effective contribution when devising theatre. I think this is very helpful because I've never devised a piece of theatre at this level before. He also advised us that researching how to devise theatre would help - I shall do some of this tomorrow.

He also gave us a list of eResources that we have access to, to help us on our piece. These are:

• Music Week
• Bitannica Online
• UK Newsstand
• Digital Theatre Plus

We then spent some time with Jo getting our grades back for our work on Budgets and she also went over what has to be included in our pitch - which we will be doing in two weeks time.

In this Production Meeting with Rose, we had to decided when we were going to tech our show. We also had to decide which day/days we would like to rehearse in the Easter holidays - we have decided to rehearse one day in the first week and one day in the second week. This is because James and Becs can only do different weeks, therefore we are working two days and we will have to work around their absences. 

We also as a company had to decide which times we were going to rehearse outside of lessons.

The aim of this week of rehearsal is to workshop two ideas and decide on one of the other. Our two ideas we have chosen to carry forward are Idea 1 (Concentration Camp) and Idea 2 (Witch hunts). This is because we feel these ideas have more depth to them. Rose has suggested that we regroup on Friday to reflect on our aims of the week and think about how to move on before the next Production Meeting on the following Monday.

Before next rehearsal, I need to have come up with an activity/idea about the witch hunt idea ready for work-shopping.
