Evaluation

Our performance was not as successful as it could have been. I feel like it was to short to develop and interesting idea.

I thought the bit that worked was Sacha and Amaya's section where they were mimicking the MP's, this was high energy and incorporated the elements of our sites.

In terms of our piece being site specific, it could have related more to the site. We didn't use any emotional links to the site or the purpose of the site in our piece. I feel like the parts we used was the structure of the steps and the glass but didn't think about the site itself. We took our own idea and linked the site to that and made it specific to that.

If I was to do this again I would think more about what things happen within the site and what could happen there as opposed to a story I could try and link it to the site.

Another group did a piece next to a fire escape stairs about prostitution. This piece worked really well as there was an emotional connection to the possible meaning of the site. One of them had written a poem in response to their site which they used in their piece and it worked really well. I think this is because it all came honestly from the site.

Our rehearsal process could have been more effective. If I was to do this again I would re think the company. There was too many people in our group to have effective discussions and rehearsals. What happened in the end was two of us seemed to take on a directors role in the group in order to prevent conflict. Although this worked in the end, the smaller groups around us seemed to be able to work better without needing this.
