Toby Saddleton Before I was selected into the group I am currently in for my showcase, I was working with another group and we came up with the following idea: “In today's lesson (16/9/13) myself and my group have come up with the idea that our showcase is going to be based on a 'prisoners of war' based theme and we have done a slow motioned piece based on the song 'hero of war' by the band Rise Against which is also related to war. My group and I have based it so that our characters breach a door when the music stats (one at a time) and then after we all duck to cover as we are being 'fired' at. Then one by one the people we are acting with (Nathan, Junior and josh) are killed and then the people that are fighting with us end up capturing us. The whole piece of music is based on a flash back within our showcase.” – My post on blog spot.com After that idea, I was put into my current group and our first idea was: The second idea for the showcase which myself Tom, Dan and Kyle had thought of was that it was based in New York and it was after the 9/11 attacks and we altered between the rioters and police officers in the show. Within the play we have sections where we focus on certain characters so it gives them a chance to 'tell their story' which relates to the topic we are doing (‘everyone has a story'). In the showcase we have it so that the play starts off with news reporters who are reporting about the riots so that the audience knows what we are talking about.” Blogspot.com When performing idea 2 we would have liked to play it in the school’s gallery theatre as there is more space for us to perform ad also the audience are rather close and can feel involved.
