learning blog 2

My thoughts and feelings were whizzing around and my project theme seemed distant.

I knew i wanted to do something with performance and forum theatre as this really interests me. I have always felt at my best when I work with young people in the teenage bracket years and it seemed as though all these things combined where a good way to steer interms of my final project.

I was approached by Laura Davitt who asked me how I felt about sex education and how much I knew about it. she also asked me would I be interested in undertaking a project alongside her with that theme in mind, we both expressed our views and what elements we both wanted and it seemed to make more then sense to work together.

I have been researching sex education and the way it is taugh in school and how it could be better, Laura and myself wrote questionaires that would be aimed at young people. These however are a draft and a starting point in the right direction.

I have discovered that theatreical devices and the use of inclusion could bring out the best potential in this peice; I now know I would like to create a peice of theatre about sex education and the importance of making the right decisions for yourself.

Using Paulas blog and the handbook I feel has given me a step by step way of working, which has been totaly beneficial to me and others I have spoken to.
From working through activities 1 and 2 I have been able to look deeper into what I initially want out of this project and has given me potential title ideas.
