Blog Assessment - Task 4 (Final Task)

Deadline: Friday, 15th May 2009, 5 pm

Word Count: 1200 words ( 300 + 400 + 500 words)

  • There are 3 questions you need to respond to
  • The questions this time are mostly reflective, however should still be analytical and not descriptive academic writing
  • Wider independent research, particularly from physical theatre practitioners via company websites should be used to support your opinions
  • Present your writing in academic language with Harvard Referencing and a bibliography presented alphabetically at the end of your post
  • PLEASE TYPE YOUR FULL NAME IN THE POST TITLE
Questions:

1. As the creative process turned from the 'V' stage to the 'P' stage of devising, and Porto started to come together as one cohesive performance, what were the common themes and issues that were beginning to emerge through the basic fabric of the piece? Despite the individual journeys, what shared experiences tied the community together apart from their state of liminality? Discuss with clear and succinct examples. (300 words)

2. Critically evaluate the transition of Porto as the ensemble moved from the studio into the theatre space. What were the strengths and weaknesses of this phase and process? (400 words)

3. Critically evaluate the growth of the performance over the three shows, with particular emphasis on your own role within the piece. Did the RSVP model continue to apply even at this final stage of the performance piece? Discuss with concrete examples. (500 words)

If you have any queries over these blog questions, please email me in good time before the deadline. Looking forward to your final set of blog responses.
