Production meeting

Today we decided to change our plan we had before this lesson to sit down and talk about the production itself. We decided to write down our running order for the show and staging:

Classroom sound scape
Meeting 1
Victorian school
Meeting 2
Future school
Meeting 3
Corporal punishment future
Meeting 4

All the staging for the meetings is the same with the 6 of us as desks sat in a circle around each other.
We decided to stage the sound scape with all of us sat around the stage in random places and directions.
The Victorian piece we had a desk at the front of our staging with the 5 of us sat in the shape of the 5 on a dice facing towards the desk at the front, we changed this to have the ones of us on chairs around the edge to be facing inwards so the we were each facing audience members.
Future school was stage with 5 of us sat in a semi circle and our teach in the centre of the stage, we change this to improve audience viewing by having the semi circle at the back of our staging so that no view was abstracted.
Corporal punishment future was the 4 desk sat in a square with the guards circling the desks.

We next talked costumes for a characters:
We needed to think about costume changes between students to teachers so we agreed on having black trousers?skirt as the bottom and white shirt for the top with an extra items to turn us into teachers like my was a sweater and another item was a blazer.

Finally we talked about our last scene and what we wanted to happen in the scene. We needed to raise either a clear problem in the world of education or a salutation as our ending note. We also wanted to keep the humour so was inspired by "future conditional" which had a scene where the teachers engaged in a food fight, we liked this and wanted to use it in our devised piece. Finally we also needed to sort my entrance so that it would be comical.
This was a very useful lesson for our group as we have managed to sort out all the extra details in our show we hadn't looked at before today, we also managed to work well as a group suggesting ideas for improvements within our devised show.
