And their off and racing! Today both groups gathered on mutual territory ( school) and undertook a developmental day of ensemble construction! For our group it was a very productive day.  Before the holidays each member had a topic to research, ready to share today.  There was Elvis, the Beatles, Live Aid and Austarlian Idol.  Everyone fulfilled their duties and our group was in no way left grasping for information! But our problem was how to narrow down all of this to one idea that we could run with.  Clarry helped us to get back to basic baby steps and a timeline was constructed.  The story so far with our ensemble is on the radio waves.  It is set on the dial of the radio and each era of music is represented through a radio station.  Although, we only developed one scene today, it was a DAMN GOOD SCENE! I felt it was a breakthrough that we were able to construct a structure or basic skeleton for our narrative giving us a plan of attack in creating the rest of our performance.  Having developed one scene gives us a starting point to work from.  Today allowed our group’s spirits to lift and our self confidence to increase.  It was beginning to feel massively overwhelming and like were constantly running around in circles.  Now it feels like the big break we had been waiting for has arisen and it can only go up from here.  It will be important for our group to keep listening to each other, and attempt to articulate our ideas clearly too.  So a day in the holidays at school was worth it!

Oh and just a quick note to the other ensemble group: We are the super ensemble! (Copyright) and Clarry told us we are definetley the favourite group.  hehehehehehhehe

Good night!
