Log Book for School Tours

In the last week, we have changed the topic of our performance. We kept the same title which is Two Ways One Destination but the main characters are not Katy and Sam any more. We struggled creating the story line and finally we ended up with me being the main character with a desire to be a mathematician, whilst my mum forces me to do sports. However, I wasn`t able to take the main characters role as my work could not promise to give me some time off work so it would be not enough time for rehearsing. I suggested that Carlos could take my part and Toya could play Katy`s part and thankfully all group agreed with that.

Our story is about two teenagers struggling with their own problems, and no one notices that. We came up with this idea because a lot of teenagers nowadays suffers from problems in family, bullying etc and any one even tries to understand them. Marko struggles at home as his mum forces him to do athletics, even though his dream is to earn money from profession that involves maths. Toya is an artist and her mum doesn`t take it seriously she hates the idea that her child wants to be a creative soul and forces her to clean the house everyday, and blaming her she doesn`t help her enough. 

Marko and Chyna meets up, and tries to solve the problem together. We thought if idea that there is no such thing as model student. Every one of us has different abilities and dreams that we should follow instead of listening what other people say.

As we getting closer to the performance day we all get frustrated and little bit nervous. We still haven`t finished the scripts, nevertheless we were working on the script writing in Sharon`s class on Tuesday morning. I think it was really good team work as all of us written the bit of scripts bearing our own ideas. I came up with idea that main Characters Toya (Chyna) and Carlos (Marko) meets up in the classroom and starts arguing over the maths as Chyna insists Marko wasn`t right when solving the maths task in a classroom before.  It ends up, that they become friends and fights against problem together. 

Sharon`s feedback was that we need to tidy up the scenes to make it clearer to understand what`s going on and pick up the cues. We talked about this and agreed that firstable we need to print off the scripts and then we can continue working on the next scenes. Also she mentioned that we have very slow energy, comparing to other groups. But that is because our scenes are quite messy and we werent sure what we were doing so it was more like improv of ideas we had. As a positive side, she said that split scene is very good, and the chosen style is strong. We use split scene in order to show the audience the similarity of two students who faces the same problems and that they are not the only ones.
