Abi's group: What makes it a good piece of T.I.E. ?
at first i didn't feel as if i was learning anything to be honest but when it got to the kind of talk show part i thought that was very good and help full to make you learn something as it got the audience involved.
Did they work well as a group?
I thought overall the group worked well together they seemed to know there lines and were aware of space and what people were doing around them because of this the pace of the drama was good. However Abi was a very very key role in all parts of the play even tho the people around her performed well and took allot of pressure off her.
What conventions did they use to engage the audience?
They used the storyteller thing very well and it was interesting to watch how it made the story flow they also used the forum theatre in an interesting way which was very different and interesting to see.

Imogen's group: What makes this a good piece of T.I.E. ?
I think the way Beth's character spoke of her life with anarecsia and what she went through you learnt allot about it and how people deal with it.
Did they work well as a group? it seemed like they all new there lines very well and supported eachover well on stage the pace was good and worked well.
What conventions did they use to engage the audience? they had allot of moments when they spoke to the audience and the board that was i think the mirror that had writing on it was unusual but creative and worked well.

First review

We had Mrs Woffinden watch our first few scenes of our piece and gave us feedback about how we could improve each scene. She said that scene 1 was very well rhearsed and powerfull. I was really happy with her saying it was powerfull as we tried our best to make the audience connect with the play. She mentioned to us that the use of Sebs monolouge was very good and our freezeframes and transitons between them really helped the pace of the drama I found this brilliant because the pace of a performance is always one of the most important things. She said that Scene 2 was great due to an effective use of physical theatre that showed the highs and lows of the parents relationship however if someone speaks during the drama there must be a certain pause so its clear what was said. She said our one problem was that the piece wasnt informative enough and we had to go back and do more research and try to add that into our drama.
