Evaluation

Evaluation  The day finally came where we done our performance i thought that it actually went really well, in the beginning I thought that the audience would find it really hard to understand or keep up with what we were doing.

My favorite moments from rehearsals

Favorite Moments: When they were fighting for the light The sexual intense bit between Zach and Keiyen  The 'help me mummy' outside the circle was interesting and it added dynamics , while also creating a narrative Sophie-Anne's monologue  The flock of birds when we worked as a company  When Dan went into the middle of the circle and started looking at the toys like he was looking for his lost childhood When Fergal was playing music and we were all responding to it  Giving light a meaning - using the light to link to Yoko Ono's light tower Cleaning up- we done what was needed When Karis got lifted up Dan was strangling someone people tried to help Seeing the empty space -we need to see the empty space as wells as the actors - for the audience it will be unusual and interesting The shadows that the light created brought back nightmares of monsters The different music we used was very effective
