Assessment 1

(i)This session was focused on finding resolution in the group performances and also to the end. In our different groups we worked to finding some sort of end to our sections. This was just following on from what we had already created and previous ideas and movements that had arisen before. However, to find a communal ending for the piece as a whole we used a different method. Play and improvisation. This took us back to when we first started the module. It helped to bring about new relationships and fresh ideas. All of which filled in missing pieces that many people in the group had been waiting for. The improvisation seemed to allow space for each individual to discover their characters more intimately and give them a fresh of where they have or shall be heading.

I felt this lesson was very useful as we are now finally starting to tie things up, making me feel less lost in what I'm doing. I’ m now able to know the true meaning of my character.

(ii) These explorations evolved by allowing each character to mingle with the community (no having found their own character) and enable new relationships to open and be explored. It also evolved into a journeys end. So far everything has had a beginning and it has not been often, as of yet, that may people have found their journeys end and this was what the final improvisation has led us to.

It seemed the final journeys at the end were allowing the people to simply show where they had arrived in their journey. Using little time and significant images it is a summary of everyone’s journey to bring him or her to resolution.

(iii) I think this defines the characters earlier stages of what they were discovering to what has now/ or is being discovered. Now characters have found their journey and know were they are going to end up, or at least the goal they are headed toward. There is much more purpose to relationships and in the communication of these, which has changed much of what was opened up and discovered at the start. This, however, does not mean that further change will not occur. I'm sure there will be many more surprises created by the work or ourselves to come.
