Devising: Day 33

Today was the scheduled date of our performance, however, after spending the day setting up and sorting out last minute sound and lighting cues, we only managed to get one group performed. The decision to delay our performance was mainly due to the fact that the end of the day would start a lot of noise and our audience would want to leave to go home. Personally, I had no problem performing after school, but I would rather us not be interrupted. One benefit of this is that we have more time to prepare, although we were ready to go today. During run throughs, transitions were still messy but a lot better than previous attempts. I think the choice to keep the same base costume was a wise one as we took long enough moving our desks and chairs out of the way so to just throw on and off a blazer made things a lot easier. I think the piece should be fine, our practice run allowed us to get everything in place and just how we wanted, from songs, sound effects and lighting. We just need to perform it.

Below is my teacher characters costume. I chose this blazer for him as I imagine him to fit nicely into a wool, almost tweed like. It emphasises the fact that he is like a granddad for his age. The 25 year old that shops in M&S, drinks cup-a-soup for lunch, organises his aftershaves, someone who should really be 60.
