At the start I didn't know what Medea was so I researched online to find out a bit more about it. The very first lesson we got put into groups of four and got given the first paragraph to work on. We then as a group read through the paragraph and thought of different ideas of how we are we're going to show this to an audience, we all agreed on saying different part of the paragraph, so each of us had something to say. We then had to think of where we were going to stand and how we are going to start it off. We had two people in the front and two people at the back but taking into consideration that we weren't blocking anyone. We then came up with the idea of saying the first line together and then everyone say the rest by ourselves. As we gone through the term we progressed and came up with some lines we say together and then saying the rest ourselves. On the fourth lesson our group and the second group got put into one big group so performance flows and there aren't big pauses we then came up as a group that we each perform and add in different movements and people from the other group get involved with our performance so they don't just stand and do nothing.
What worked well was that we always ran through practicing smoothly and there was no problems and arguments, also everyone learnt their lines for the second lesson so we could add in any movements. What could of been better was we don't rush our words otherwise I thought it went really well. As we went through the term I learnt that working as an ensemble that the only problem is that sometimes you come off target easily. Also if someone isn't in you can work around the problem easily because there are always other people in the group to read that persons lines.
I helped me as a performer as it helped my confidence boost and by working in a group it helps because if you forget your lines there are always the people in the group to help so it doesn't look like you forget your lines.
