Saturday 26th May - Of More New Stuff

What a fantastic session!

The earlier group worked hard on bringing to life some of their new writing. We now have an immense selection of new work from our students and I will be incorporating it all into the new script that will be performed on July 7th.

The later group worked on putting the script into a series of tableaux or freeze frames. There were three stages to this.

1) Create 5 freeze frames, each with a title, that tell the story of 'The Legacy of Fingerless Gloves.'

2) Add a line of dialogue and a response to every freeze frame and come up with 3 new freezes that further the story.

3) Add a narrator who tells the story of each freeze by addressing the audience.

It was great to see this group working closely together on a really detailed piece of work. Each stage grew the story and we were delighted with the results.

This group are still bonding and getting to know each other so this was a perfect demonstration of their potential as a group and as individuals.

I'm looking forward to hitting the writing desk over half term and creating the final version of 'The Legacy of Fingerless Gloves'.
