14th June - Feedback for the Divorce Piece

In this group -
Francesca Hippey,
Seb Ainsworth and
Tom Willshaw.

Is this an effective piece of Theatre In Education and why ?

Yes! This was a very effective piece of Theatre In Education as the audience got involved with the piece and like Emily, Imogen and I got us very emotional and nearly in tears! I also liked how the piece was very personal to the actors and showed their true emotions, as well as their acting abilities. This was very professional and mature. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming.

What conventions did they use to engage the audience?Music - In the backgorund,
Song - Seb, his guitar and some very emotional lyrics,
Direct address,
Physical theatre,
Hot seating.

How well did they work as a group?

Very! They held each other very well and as a group, performed a very strong piece of Theatre in Education. They made no mistakes that were recognisable and had clearly all worked hard.

Things to improve:
At times, Seb wasn't making eye conatct with the audience during the direct address. This is key for direct address and is what makes the audience feel part of it. Seb needs to make more eye contact next time.

Other than that this piece was fab and I really enjoyed watching it and seeing how it effected different members of the audience.
