People also gave their presentations on their given subject about WW1. I thought Leanne's group's presentation about communication in the war extremely useful and engaging as they actually involved the audience. Their way of explaining the communication in the war was extremely effective.

In 26/9/13's lesson we continued to work on our pieces inspired by Frantic Assembly except this time we worked with the other group to bring it all together and put in it context. I personally really like the piece and I think that working with the other group really helps us visualise it in context. However to improve I think that I, and the rest of the strand, need to make the movements sharper and bolder to make them fit completely.

In 19/9/13's lesson went through the brief of this term and went through all the things we need to do to gain distinction. This was extremely helpful as it made me understand what we are going to do during this term and will help me perform in the lesson to my highest ability.

We were divided into groups of 3 and worked on adding movement into a piece with Imogene and Chloe. We worked on Frantic Assembly's 'by, through and around'. I really liked this activity as it needed to be creative and gave an example that theatre pieces don't just have to be straight theatre.

Jacob, Elle and I worked on a piece about a father annoucing he has been drafted to the army. I played the mother and Elle was my daughter. It was only a couple of minutes long and silent. I liked this piece as it really helped me access emotions for the piece and it was interesting to see how we can get those emotions and the scene across without using words.
