Conflict Devising Project

We have been given the task to create "an informative piece of educational theatre (TIE)." Working in a group of 5, we spent the hour choosing a target audience (teenagers) and devising 3 questions to ask peers in interviews that would act as our verbatim. Our 3 questions were:

• Have you ever misplaced your trust in someone?
• Have you ever had to keep a secret from your friend/friends?
• Do you hold conversational opinions you can't air in public? 

We choose these questions as we believed they would allow our peers to connect with previous moments in their lives and therefore allowing us to receive more in depth responses giving us the best stimulus for our piece. 

Verbatim is a technique used by Max Stafford Clarke, it means "in exactly the same words, word for word, exact to the original source" you take people's body language, voice, "the way they tell a story" and emulate it in your own work, in more simper terms, there story telling and body language becomes a stimulus for your work and should be reflected perfectly within your own piece.
