Childhood Memories

Our devised piece of work was based on childhood memories. In this essay I will evaluate my own contribution and researches I have done. I will also examine my group’s devised work and another group’s devised piece and compare the two and find similarities and differences, my performance was called the Monster Mash and the other was called Anorexia.

I also wrote most of the script and made sure people knew what to say. On top of that I wrote the cue sheet for the lighting and sound.
