Collaborative Reflection 2/10/20

I think that our group has to work on a couple things to complete our project. One aspect is our ending. At the moment, we do not have a completed ending for our piece of theatre. I have had a couple of ideas for the end of the show but its not entirely clear with my group how we want to end it. We haven't decided yet what mind state we want to leave the audience in after they watch our show. There are a couple of options. We could go in the direction of resolution which would give the audience an ultimate feeling of relief or satisfaction, or we could leave the individual plots unresolved. This would leave the audience with more feelings like uneasiness and discomfort. I think that ultimately, leaving the audience without answers is a better way to end the piece of theater. We also have to decide if we want to include music in our scenes when we are walking in the space. Sometimes music is useful and makes the scenes more interesting and intriguing. However, music could also distract from what is going on on the stage and take away from the intimate experience that our theater piece is. It is something we will have to experiment with and see if it makes the piece better or worse. We also have to make a lot of decision based off of lighting and how we want to use it to focus the attention of the audience on to the stage. Along with all of this, we really have to work on our in between moments in our scenes. Making them more interesting and also get the point of transition across. A lot could be said using these negative moments just like in photography how the negative aspects of the image can be more impactful than the positives. Our piece of theater could have the same impacts. Over all, I think we have a long way to go, but once we get our audios recorded and lights figured out, I think we will be in great shape.
