In groups we all explored ensemble bands like S Club 7, we had to explore how well they worked together and significant moments in their life. In my group we set it out as if the group were in a rehearsal and each member would speak about what happened next in the groups timeline.
In the group I played and researched the part of Bradley McIntosh, in the group he was quite a big character, and would always voice his opinions, I showed this through, being quite forward in the performance and making it know of what I was feeling about what was going on.
When it came to devising different scenes to go into the play, we just explored lots of different scenes and how we could include the researched information into the scene using improvisation, through this we got some really solid scenes. when it came to blocking out the scenes I felt that I came up with a few ideas on how to make each scene interactive and comical for the audience. for example I came up with the section at the start where we all say a character profile, I felt that this worked well as from the start the audience could tell what members we were all playing.
When it came to researching about the band i was left to look up about my own character and thier first hit song, 'Bring It All Back'. Others in the group had to look up different subject in the group history, for example how their music developed over the years, and how they split up. By us all looking into these different subjects, and then bringing them all together to start piecing them together, it made the devising process alot quicker and slicker.
If we were to do this project again i would have liked to spend more time on making all of our research link up, and making it really clear in the jumps in the timeline of the performers life. However i feel that as a group we all worked really well together and brought a side of comedy into the piece, which i felt reflects how the band worked as a team.
