Carosle

Being inspired from Rory's workshop developing ideas from newspapers and media we decided to include something similar in our final piece. We understand that research and realistic information is important to our piece to make it as powerful as possible to an an audience and help them empathise with the sensitivity of the situation. However we thought it would be interesting to look at the information from the publics point of view. To stick with the theme of our piece (abstract) we decided to portray the information in a Carosle after watching a past Year 12's performance. By standing in a circle, facing forwards towards the audience we take it in turns to play either an interviewer or an interviewee, we ask questions to the mother of Robert Thompson, the physicstrist who worked on the case, the mother of James Bulger 20 years on from the murder and a range of other people. This helped us to teach the audience a wider understanding of opinions on the case through different ages and members of society. It also helped us to become different characters exercising our voices and showing a more diverse range. 

Our main aim from this scene is to help the audience understand information that otherwise they wouldn't necessarily understand. We want them to leave our performance being as educated on the situation as possible to really help show them the extreme violence of the crime.
