We began today's lesson in our separate classes finishing our group pieces. In this lesson our group tried to perfect working with the shirts and making our physical theatre section look clean and polished. I think we succeeded in doing this and I think the use of combining the 'attention' said by the soldiers and the women at home showed the contrast in perspectives of the war and was also very visually impacting. We also worked on our small scenes. I believe our group performed well however we need to rehears performing with the shirts as we don't want them to distract from the scene which can be done very easily if they are moved to much as all the attention goes to them, we will improve this by deciding certain points at which people will hang the shirts on the line making sure to do it at points that will not distract from what's being said.

After we had rehearsed our pieces separately we then attempted to do a run through of our entire piece. To do this we had to move around the school performing in different places. I think the run through went well however we need more practice on the transitions and timings of some of the pieces as on the night we don't want to be running around and this was something we all struggled with during the run through.

we also added an end section in which two soldiers return and we see their reunion with their partners. This is effective as it shows the journey the soldiers and wives have been on. as I am one of the wives being reunited with their partner at the end I think I need to work on how we reunite as this is important in showing the way the characters feel about each other, this is something I need to work on with my partner as it is an important part of the piece that needs to be performed accurately and in a believable fashion.
