PERFORMANCE
By Jack Cox
The basic idea was to have 3 groups of 4 or 5 students and devise a performance on old age, adulthood and childhood. In my group was Robert Costart, Tarik and OJ
Are group was given the performance title of childhood (lucky us). The first thing that we had to do was to decide what are three scenes were going to be about. We want to show the joys, fears and sadness of childhood. Are group came up with many ideas. One that I can remember was the idea of the boogieman, to show childhood fears. I felt this was a good idea because it is a childhood fear and we would be able to show it in a comical way.
The three scenes that our group decided on was; -
> School to show the sadness of childhood
> Bedtime story to show the fears of childhood
> And walking the street to show the joys of childhood
First before we started to develop our ideas in to a script we had to do some research. I looked into the myth of the boogieman by asking a younger cousin. This helped us a great deal because none of the group was to sure about what it was that the boogieman actually does. OJ by asking a year 7 pupil found out what it was that children find sad about there first day at school. This was really helpful because we discovered that's its not the learning that the children dislike about school it is the teachers and meeting new people for the first time.
