Contracts!

First Hour;

Today we found out our deadlines and performance dates!
We had to reschedule them because our pieces were no-where near ready!

Our performance date is Tuesday 14th June, Period 5 during a Year 8 drama session. Year 8's were our prefered target audience, and we will have most of the day to rehearse/watch others pieces as it's a diploma day, making it easier to free up the day.

We were also given a 'contract' which was an agreement between the school and the theatre company. The company gives the school a 'list' of requirements for their performance. Afew examples of questions are;
- Accessibility
  - How easy is the access to the performance space?
  - Do you have any loading bays for set and or props?

- Are the students used to seeing theatre work?
  - How familiar are the students with the theatre?
  - Do they know different theatre conventions?
  - Are they completely knew to the theatre?
- Audience
  - What is the target audience for the piece?
  - How suitable is the piece?
  - How many seats does the performance space have?
  - How many viewers does it hold?

We were given a contract given to the school by 'Splendid Productions.' for a piece that had been into school recently called 'The Trial' as an example of a contract.

Second Hour;

We ran through the script a couple of times, before we decided to get the skeleton down. We are now using the old skeleton, as we were told last week that we could keep it downstairs in the drama store cupboard because it isn't used. So we now have a skeleton! It was a slight challenge getting the dress on the skeleton, but we did eventually, and it looked pretty cool!
That's one more prop sorted!
