4. 25/9/23 This week we explored the
poem Echo and Narcissus
and created our own
variation of performances
based on this story. We
also explored the
difference that music can
make in a piece and picked
a piece of music that we
think suited a scene well
and wrote about what we
thought of when we
listened to this music.
5. 2/10/23 This week we went to a
UCAS event to look at
universities and drama
courses. We also went to
an art gallery and spent 8
hours on a coach. Me and
Flo also created a podcast.
We also devised our
performance with Kate
and David.
6. 9/10/23 This week we worked on
how movement and sound
could be used to create
transitions between our
scenes. We also worked
good.
Acting out people’s
descriptions of the song
went really well as it was
great to see people’s
different perspectives on
what they thought about
the song.
Devising as a group went
well as we all got to share
our ideas and we came
up with a base plan for
our performance in a very
short amount of time.
This week we successfully
worked as a team to
create transitions that
flowed well with all of our
scenes.
