First Show Notes

The show on Thursday night was really good. I think we all put physical theatre to the back of our minds, while all of our individual plays were going on, but I think it went a lot better than we all expected. We had quite a small audience, but we expected that because none of us were going to be in the audience. It would have been nice to have a few more people there, because the whole show went so well.

Nothing went wrong and it was really great to see and hear people's reactions to it afterwards. They all seemed to really like it and the teachers came out teary eyed. They said that most people in the audience were crying and that it was so good and moving. It was so nice to hear positive feedback for all of the hard work we put into making this piece and I can't wait to perform the others.

These are the notes that Simon gave to improve even more:

- Slow the exits from the first moment. After Tuwaine talks, listen to the recording, don't just run off stage.
- There were some lovely moments, expand them- make these moments last longer.
- Explore more details of the piece.
- Fat cats, make sure they're noises and not words and have no more than 3 people in a meeting, or it looks crowded, use the space.
- We need to just work the ending a little more.

These notes will really help to make our final two shows, as good as they can possibly be.
