Today Moonfish Productions got straight to work on adapting our version of 'Hansel and Gretel', in order to improve on the things that we were given feedback for. I suggested that we could add physical theatre and music to our piece or that we could each come out of the story, at one point and tell a certain part of it from each of our points of view.
Then we were given an ultimatum- we could have either have stayed together and risked not getting graded for this unit, or we could have each joined other groups and worked on the production side of things. After a group meeting, we made the hard decision to join other groups. Not wanting anyone to not have a group to join- we all allocated each other to certain groups, so that no group would have too many production people.
I asked to help the Children's Theatre Company, 'Deep Blue Tales'. They asked me to repaint rocks that they already had for them and to create new rocks. Therefore, I painted the rocks and then discovered that another member of Moonfish Productions was working on the production side of Deep Blue Tales' show. I asked if they needed any help and helped them with cutting materials. I decided to listen to the instructions of someone more artistic than myself, which ended up being the opposite of what needed to be done. Then I listened to their instructions again, and completely messed up. Next time, I will be more independent when it comes to art and trust my own instincts, as if I had, I would have ended up doing the right thing.
Immediately afterwards, I worked on making more rocks. I then moved onto helping to paint the 'Fish + Chips' sign. Later, I made some more rocks for the group. I worked hard on the jobs that needed doing for this group and worked all day without stopping, as I was determined to help them out. However, at the end of the day, I was told their was not enough room on the tour buses for me and that my help wasn't needed on the tour. Therefore I will not be going on tour, but I will try to help them out during The Evening Performance.
Here are the rocks I began making:
