Drama ensemble is coming along very nicely! Currently we are working backwards. Yes, we started with 2000s and we are now up to 1960s. We have all scenes in between which is good! We have rehearsed these scenes over and over but we still need to work on slick scene transitions and work out who is holding the placard up.

 For those who do not know, for our ensemble on ‘technological revolution’ we are taking the 20th century (as it was the most technologically revolutionalised era) and starting with 1920 are satirising (is that a word) each decade and what technology revolutionised it. Brief overview without giving too much away: 2000’s, of course, video games. 1990s- MSN (close to many people’s hearts), 1980s - Good ol’ Olivia and 1970s…uh what the hell happened in the 1970s? (inside joke guys). OH and we have the start and the finish of the ensemble!! It’s good :) Our aim is to be able to relate with the audience. Because most of the audience in Bunjil will be school kids and mums and/or dads.

In today’s lesson Leah and I started organising the numerous placards that we will need. It’s part of our ‘non-naturalistic’ approach. We are also following Epic Theatre through use of talking directly to the audience by breaking character. Should be interesting and mix it up a bit.

I really cannot wait to perform it! I love ensembles!!! newayz mumz yellin 2 get off da comp. :P (um inside joke again)
