The gang performing arts- Tuesday 13th jan

In yesterday's lesson we had to sit in a discussion with our groups to talk about the styles of our performances, we wrote ours down, we are doing a typical 1930's gang, where women didn't have rights and a lot of different violent gangs existed. So we wrote down the list of styles in our performance (2nd picture), from below we can see that our performance consists of a slick American violent gang in the 1930's that lives and works for money ( like bank jobs for instance) in a very old fashioned time with smart clothes, a time period of jazz music. Which we use a lot of in our scenes. Especially fight scenes. Yesterday we also had the idea that when tom (the boss) gets back at find girlfriend. I will be at the back of the room in the dark with drums. And will be hitting cymbals and drums when he hits her, to show my musical capability. I will also have to come up with a drum piece for it to build up the tension that the scene specifically needs. The ( first picture) shows what our devised piece would be like if it was a person, he would be very smart and refined. But not in a good way, he has a bad and dangerous side and a sick minded person that could never be trusted. Someone who has power over everything and won't hesitate to kill at a moments notice. At The end of the lesson we showed one of our scenes to the other group, we did the fight scene between the gang members and Kyle. Because it's a very intense scene with a lot of amazing stage combat which looked Really effective. And I think the audience enjoyed it because they were engaged throughout,we tried to show the audience how violent the gangs in the 1930's were.
