GROUP PIECE -

On Wednesday 18th we performed our piece 3 times to audiences of 40. In each performance i think our group piece went really well and we had all taken on board the notes we had been given and applied them to our performance. For example, the 'fire' section as a class i feel we were able to connect with more in the piece as before we had mainly been going for a literal representation rather than something more abstract or creative. One thing i found hard in the performance was finding my partner in the metal section as we were all now in black and unable to distinguish who everyone was meaning it took me longer than usual to find her. Another thing i think we could have improved on in the shows was our distribution as an enable, as right at the start when we form the two lines we always ended up with more on one side than the other meaning that the grid didn't flow as well.

As an enable i think we worked really well together and there was a clear progression from the start of term to now. I personally feel like i was much more connected in the piece's to how i had been at the start as i was now fully committed and working with others who also were. Backstage we all helped to make sure everyone knew what they were doing and had their piece of cloth. Also on stage if something didn't happen or went wrong we were able to deal with it as a group and progress through our piece.

TRIO-

I was really happy with the performance of our trio and the reaction we got out of it. The trio was something that we hadn't rehearsed fully as we couldn't until the day when we actually ate the food, so it was something i was somewhat unsure about. However, once we were in the pool we were able to use ideas that we had had and apply them now we had the food. For example, bathing in the food and fully immersing ourselves in it. As well as this other things came naturally, like feeding one another and covering ourselves in food. Our piece was also different each time, and i feel the 3rd show was our best as we were used to the feeling and also already covered in food so it added to the overall aesthetics of the piece.

 To have improved i would of liked to have include more set moments so as a trio we knew more where the piece was leading and were able to keep the audience engaged longer. I also would have liked to work on our physicality in the pool and where we were each sat as on the middle show our staging didn't work as well as on the 1st and 3rd and this is something we could have prevented.
