S.W.O.T Analysis
During the whole physical theatre project, from working to creating the project, I feel that we as a company worked very well together, and were very good at adapting to new ideas. When it came to contextual research,planning, and preparing the company really took on board all of the information and things we had learnt to become very informed characters in away that was truthful, stereotypical and un-stereotypical, and thoughtful. Everyone was able to delve into the script to try and get the best understanding available. Eventually everyone beam very good at tapping in and out of their emotions, as we each had to find our own personal trigger,memory or action that could initiate those feelings. I personally now feel a lot more connected with my emotions and that it is "ok" to let them out whilst performing. My eyes have been opened a lot more to mental health, physical theatre and how to tell Sarah Kane's story effectively.
I think we all really benefited from Young Minds coming to speak to us, as it really did break down any stereotypes that anyone had about Mental Health, and that even though we are going off the deep end and what we area doing is really intense, mental health effects anyone and there is no specification that you have to fit to have any issues. I hope our performance makes Petra and all those from Young Minds proud and not offended in anyway with the darker scenes. Those are my only worries/about weaknesses but I think the show will come together and do 4.48 justice if we all give it our all and just perform.
Throughout the project I feel that we had many opportunities to really learn and be involved with all the research on mental health as young people, giving us the chance to be informed about society. I now feel like I would potentially know "what to do" if somebody approached me with mental health, not even specifically "what to do" but I would not be afraid of trying to help or making things worse. The only potential threats could be the show not being 100% successful because of the lack of emotion. It has to feel very much real and raw. It shouldn't feel like anybody is acting their way through it, as if we are all on the same page we should just blend and connect with each other as a company, which I'm confident it will be.

My Role
I found my role really hard to complete due to time restraints and to needing a strong team to all work together, but that as because all of my team were in "The Revelling" which made it hard for me to edit as there was nothing to edit, and nobody to help me film, also as pieces were still being put together the day before the show, there wasn't anything solid enough to film anyway. I would've liked to film and edit a trailer which I could give to marketing and publicity to distribute on Social Media and on the tv in reception to help with promotion, but there was no way I could have done it all on my own in time. I also would have loved to take head shots of everybody but due to time that was not possible so luckily Tash managed to get some group shots with her camera and some action shots in the lab coats of the Doctors and patients.
For the next production project I would love to get this role again so I can fully work with my team to the fullest and create a really good media platform for the show as I really enjoy media and I know that I could've been capable of so much more, and I definitely plan to be in our next project and hopefully there will be no other things clashing in the run up to the show.

Lesson
In todays lesson Parice and I got to work together creating a duet based on the text "Have You Made Any Plans" we both tried to be as un literal as possible and would constantly run away and then come back when we had new ideas we wanted too try. I found it easy to work with her because we have been close for the last 3 years so I didn't feel any type of way towards being open and trying to connect with her. We also came up with some new ideas for the class to do, I suggested that when we all get to the back wall that we run forward screaming "I'm Charging Towards My DEATH" at the audience almost while we restrain each other at the end, as if stopping each other from falling. This was really intense and looked really effective, so Vicky put it in the piece.
Also we worked on restraining and breaking away from each other, which help build up resistance and anger, trying to drag your partner from the other side of the room whilst they kicked and screamed resisting. This was really hard and fun as I had never done anything like it. Carrying on from this after exiting the room for a break Natalie was the last person to come back in the room and Vicky told us all to stare at her uncomfortably, and it was really hard to keep a straight face and be serious but after awhile I could feel the tension in the room and it became easier, Vicky then said "Get her out" and we all had to restrain her and kick her out of the room, and she didn't know why or what was going on which made me feel so bad but I had to stay in character.
