Work Experience Log Book 2 The Workshop at College

I believe, we did very well during the workshop with Level 3 first years and then performed our piece in front of them and our class. First years gave us some feedback about our workshop and said it was very entertaining and fun. They guessed from the first time that it was related with a model student which means we achieved one of the criteria. Also they said that the name game at the beginning broke the ice and everyone became more confident about themselves. The performance bit made them think of what the model student is, and learn at the same time.

Feedback we got for our performance bit was really good ideas on which should we work on. Elvina said that we kept very strong energy throughout the whole piece. Ryan suggested that we should use real props such as oyster cards in a bus scene just to make it clearer. Brandon mentioned that we should work on our transactions between the scenes and if we forget to take the chairs don`t whisper about it because the audience can hear it. Everyone agreed that we should take out role sexuality and swearing because this is not appropriate. Also somebody said that we should focus on people at one point at a time, especially in a scene where Sam is playing a teacher, Katy and Divina bad students, whilst Carlos and Toyo are flirting with each other. They said the attention goes to everyone, while we all should be focusing on Carlos and Toyo as they are the main characters.
