In today's lesson we were asked to sit with our groups and throw our ideas at each other (may i also add during brainstorming sessions we are not allowed to say no to any ideas!!) and see what people have come up with.
Elsa wanted to focus on a more feminist take on it and focus on the themes of mistrust and prejudice against women.
Elle.
From our story telling Elle liked the idea of audience participation and including that more. She also talked about the idea of the play being set from the viewpoint of hero's father , Leonarto, and how he sees her daughter and niece misbehaving and rebelling and explore that idea.
Becs.
Becs idea resonated well with me. She had the idea from her passion for the music of the 1930's and 40's, and had the idea to set it in the war. so we could have the lovely aesthetics and costume form the pre war - war period.
James.
James idea was the most developed today. His idea spawned from a true story about a Jewish woman in Auschwitz who worked in the item sorting area known as Canada, and how one woman fell in love with an SS officer (Benedict and Beatrice). I shall go into further detail of James' idea in a later post because i think we already know that we are going to have that act as our main basis for the story at this point.
Mandi
Mandi's idea was to have the play from the viewpoint of don Jon, and how it could be viewed from an outsiders perspective in to the play.
My Idea.
My idea is fairly undeveloped at the moment but still. My idea was why not instead of Hero and Claudio, we have Hero and Claudia... So we would follow a lesbian relationship and the troubles and prejudices about that and follow how their family reacts.
this seems like a detailed assessment of todays lesson, can you copy and past it onto the group blog incase the teachers expect it?
