TONS of learning points-
1) WORK WITH STRENGTHS- There is a need to work with the members strenghts. Its vital for the group. Roles have to be divide in a way such that members are comfortable with what they have been assigned.
2) NEED TO KEEP PPL IN CHECK- Yet, these members have to be kept in check, as their passion may lead them off the path that had been previously set.
3) START STRONG EARLY- The future of the piece is unclear, one can never predict what it will turn into. BUT, there is a need to start with a concept early, a strong one that wil last through.
4) THE STORY IS THE KEY- One must on begin with the structure, as theatre is all about the message. Starting with the structure is not wrong, but there are dangers that the message and intention will not be brought out.
5) WORKING HABITS- There is a need to work with other peoples working habits and what they prefer. This may not be to the groupos advantage, but people wil have to take note of it and then work around it. Division of roles should be done according to this.
6) COMMUNICATION- is VITAL to the piece, and conflits are deadly. Being proffesional is a key thing i learnt to do and also learnt the impact and results when this was not practised.
7) WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS, KEEP AWAY!- Bonding time is necessary, even though we work around a tight schedule. BUT, when people cant stand each other, keep them away from each other. Bonding does not help.
8) ROLE REQUIREMENT- When in a group, roles have to be clearly defined. If not fulfilled, others should come in immediately to help out, but the person in charge will have to voice out for help, the group leader also has to be alert for any SOS's being sent out.
9) AN ANGEL FOR EVERYONE- There always has to be someone to keep another person in check. Each member should have someone assigned to them (with respect to the fields they are incharge of) so they can 'take care' or give a 3rd persons perspective rather.
10) DRAMATURGE- I learnt what being a Dramaturge was like.. It wasnt fun.. but it was enjoyable and a tremendously enriching experience.
