different other things to
the piece like sound and
other movements.
6. 9/10/23 This week we developed
one of our elements with
David. This element was
air and we tried loads of
different ideas to see what
worked. As a group we
eventually came up with a
solid idea that we will
probably end up using.
7. 16/10/23 This week we have
finessed and rehearsed
our piece with David,
expanding our ideas and
working on our character.
We also showed harry
(one of our old

vision unit and met the
practitioners. The
practitioners showed us
their work and what they
do for a job. We also got
given the Tristan and
ysueot script and read
through it. This was reallly
helpful because I could get
an understanding of the
play.
10. 13/11/23 This week in our session
with our practitioners we
made model boxes of a
chosen scene in our
groups to start to get an
idea of what scene we
wanted to present and

scratch ideas in other
styles of theatre. In out
