This was an independent task set to us, we all worked together in collaboration to complete it.
Class discussion
Firstly we took part in a class discussion, deciding on which songs to sing, which cast to use, the order of the songs and the type of work shop we will be running for the students. I contributed ideas to the process such as suggesting to sing the full length of the three main songs. My reasoning for this was that we have been given an hour slot for our time at Durrington, which we will be dividing into two sections. 30 mins for the performance and 30 mins for the workshop. We worked as a team, listening to one another's ideas to work out which songs and the order we will be singing them in. We came to this conlusion-
1) We are the champions
2) Under pressure
3) Another one bites the dust
4) I want it all
*Workshop*
5) Radio GaGa

Finally decided to split off into two teams, one planning the performing the other planning the workshop.
Performance development, ideas coming together.
We then split off into different teams so that as an ensemble, we were able to be more productive. Having us all divided up into separate teams allowed us to get all of the planning and rehearsing completed in a shorter amount of time, making this time efficient.
Workshop team preparation
To ensure all teams were aware of what the other teams had been rehearsing and had decided on, we came back together to feedback to everyone our current ideas and what we had all been working on. This gave all teams the oppotunity to present to the other team members the current ideas which are being developed. This strategy and way of working has two advantages. Firstly it allows each team to have sorted out their part of the job, which is quicker than having the entire class working on one part of the project. Secondly whilst ending back, if anyone picks up on something that doesn't seem to fit or or as well as it could do, then this is the perfect oppotunity to say something and get it sorted before it is too late.
Performance development/rehearsing
Following this we split off into our appropriate groupings and developed the three songs for the performance.
I worked on Under Pressure it's Luke, Amber and Megan. I feel as though we worked well, listening to each other, making the process much smoother as everyone's opinion was heard however only the best ideas materialised.

Run through of WWRY montage
Despite the fact we were yet to have put all three songs together as it will be in the actual performance, the fact we had all been working individually in our three groups to perfect the songs, putting them together in this first ever run went very well. This shows that putting in previous ground work makes all the difference when it comes to the final rehearsals. This also shows that team work is not always about everyone working on the same thing. You must manage your time effiecently and make the most of your resources at all times.
I have learnt today that to successfully work as an ensemble you must sometimes split off instead of. Working in one team. This gives everyone the chance to be more hands on and invloved with the process and the material being created.
