Today we put all of the sections together with the other groups and this has left me feeling so excited and feeling like this performance has a lot of potential! I was especially impressed at one of the solder sections where they join in pairs and use chairs to create a sequence of 5 different movements and repeat them. As there are so many different people on stage, you get chaotic vibe and as an audience member it’s exciting because you’re thinking: “oh wow, where do I look now!” But the length of time this section enabled you to take in each separate sequence and appreciated each actor on stage. The choice of music I admired too, as it fit well with the scene and created and emphasised the chaotic vibe further.

I was really moved by the sections the ‘couples’ group made also. They began doing such mundane activities and managed to portray love through them all, and when the chaotic vibe was introduced it was a stark contrast to this scene and the atmosphere this created.

I think that it was a good idea to have our section based on the experiences the war had on different people, not just the men fighting. At the moment this piece is showing a real potential and I’m excited to see where this will lead.
