Big group piece

From our interviews and the idea of people trying particularly hard to be politically correct, we created the first part of our piece. I really like this moment, it allows us to shed light on a different side of the current issue of migration. We're able to keep it relevant with the subject matter by linking it back to the current crisis whilst observing and exploring it in a different way. The action of us all running to cover someone's mouths whilst they're talking really shows the pressure some people feel to constantly be PC. I feel like maybe we should edit some of the dialogue people say in this section to make it less blatantly racist. This is because I feel that some people could possibly think we are giving racists a platform to spur hate rather than make a point about

I really liked that we were able to include Ivory and Jasmine's running into the big group piece. I thought the piece they created was extremely poignant. With the entire group doing it, if it's done well, it looks really good. It provides us all with an individual platform to each tell a different story of someone who may be fleeing their home in a way that isn't generic and moving for the sake of moving.

Incorporating Isabella and Imogene's duet work was slightly harder as the movements were more intricate and precise. It was harder to get everyone working at the exact same time to the interview whilst doing the correct movements but we all definitely improved over time. I really like the idea of relying on someone else to safely take your weight being explored in this moment. This allows us to present the idea that we, the UK/Europe/the World, have an obligation to help those in need. We have the ability the take the weight of those who have fled their home - it's just the question of whether or not our government are brave enough to do the right thing.

The last part we developed was taken from the group piece we developed previously. This involves all of us walking around before all trying to fit onto one piece of floor. his was taken from Jasper's interview with Ellie in which sure uses the word 'crush'. We thought this was an extremely visceral word that pushed us to look at the idea of a mass group of people attempting to all fit onto one small space. Not only would this show the idea of a mass movement of people towards the same thing but it would also look at the idea that some people possess that we, as a country/continent/world, do not have enough space to take in any refugees.
