I was really nervous about the showcase to the seniors but they were surprisingly impressed by the concept. Not that it was fantastic, but they liked it! However, I realised that due to the lack of foundation and research done by the group, a lot of concepts were not put into place and it is too late to change them. If we had more time I am sure we would have made the requirements. As of today, scene 4 is the only one without any changes or complaints. It was too bad we reached the point of realisation only then. Actually, our whole group wanted the sounds to be similar to that of Romeo and scene 4. But we did not know where to find or create that type of sound. In fact, it was only when Rui shan stumbled upon the bipolar track did we get the sound we wanted.
If we had had more time to research or knew where to find sources, we would have built a better foundation. But we had to dive into the movements too early. Miss Norzian pushed for a good foundation (every decision and move with justification) from the beginning but I guess we just wanted to get things done quickly, with our own movements and our favourite songs for our own story.
Things that could not totally be changed: Sound choices (especially scene 1), movement vocabulary, character air time (due to nature of our story. However, we did let each character have his/her moments in the play)
However, I felt that although we could not always reach an equillibrium with our 2 skills, we did effectively brought out the emotions and message of our piece to the audience. In addition, we made a good decision to weave each scene together to create one storyline instead of the usual, episodic and sometimes confusing expressionistic plot. This way, the 15-16 year olds we are targeting would understand the play better.
