Production meeting

During our first production meeting we spent Our time deciding on how we are going to structure the two pieces " The Tempest" and "Twelfth Night."  As a class we decided that we are doing  to kick off the show with a storm as both plays involve a storm as it seems logical to incorporate a common aspect to comment the two pieces and create a smooth flow. Also we have decided to incorporate physical theatre into the storm as we have been using this dramatic technique in the past and this is a good opportunity to incorporate it.   There was a small debate on how we were going to structure the different extracts of text as some wanted to mix "twelfth night" and "The Tempest" texts where as I and others wanted to separated them evenly and do each play separately to avoid confusion for the audience. We eventually decided to keep the plays separate to keep the work separate and uncomplicated.   Another topic covered in the meeting was the rehearsal schedule and how we were doing to work on our extracts. Many different ideas were put forward such as working on and developing one play first then the second after this, but I argued that when we start working on our second piece we would start to forget the first and it would produce sloppy work as it would have been forgotten. We decided on working on the separate texts together one in Mondays practical lessons and the other on Tuesdays lessons as this allows you to keep up with your work and not forget small nuances which we create in rehearsals..
