Forming the group

We formed a group of nine people that consisted of 9 people (Kitty, Amaya, Molly, Josh, Georgia, Sacha, Moyo, Immie and Me) as we thought that we were different sorts of people that could all bring something different to the group and also to experience properly creating a company and learning to work together. The first thing we were instructed to do was to find 2 possible places to find and use as our site for our production. At first the searching did not go too well as we were unsure about what we wanted to use and could not initially draw any inspiration from out from the potential sites we looked at that were inside the building, so we decided to try and look for potential sites outside and on the rest of the school ground. We found better luck as one of the first places we noticed was the fire exit as it had both pipes that were dated from the mid nineties,  and lots of old vases and general rubbish stored under the stairs. we were aware of how closed the space was but we thought that we could work with the information that we were getting from the site. we carried out a risk assessment there and then and moved on. The next site we decided to use was the space behind the back of the canteen , as one side had lots of junk and old household items and the other side was quite official clean looking space. I personally got quite slot of inspiration from this site as it reminded quite a bit of Steven Kings's Lord of The Flies and of childhood fun and innocents. I also thought this site was a good site due to the fact that there was lots of space for audience members to watch whatever we put on. We carried out a risk assessment and then began thinking and toying with different ideas. We were also required to get permission from the site mangers so that we could get the go ahead for rehearsals and performance. After writing these letters we had to give up the idea of using the fire exit for our piece as we were not allowed to block the fire stairs and also because there were too many safety Hazards, meaning that we had no choice but to use the space behind the canteen for our performance area.
