How did we start?

Hello hello, 

Today has been a highly productive one, we have rehearsed, we have devised, we have made and put up. There is still a lot we still have to do, but it all seems to be coming together nicely now, which is good considering the first show is on Thursday!

I don’t want to say to much about what we have made or put up as I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but I will share with you the starting idea of he show and how we started the devising process.

 That Day originally stemmed from the notion that the Theatre course is in the process of moving to the Hull campus, to which the company are the last year group to go graduate in Scarborough. The company wanted to mark this occasion, doing what they are passionate about.

The process started by using a combination of devising games, mind mapping on large pieces of paper, movement exercises and research that all surrounded leaving. The company spent a lot of time creating texts, either from exercises such as free writing and free speaking. Some of the texts are autobiographical and some are based on the stories of others whether it from someone moving to study abroad or a refugee.

Tomorrow its another day of rehearsals and tech and maybe some sneak peaks of the show.

See you tomorrow!
