Today we found out that our next unit is devising we were split into groups and given a stimulus being the Adele song chasing pavements. After a few minutes brainstorming I came up with the idea we do something fun and comedic and have a cheesy game show called chasing pavements, we had all our contestants participate in various stupid and silly physical games and included some audience participation.
I felt today was fun and relaxed and my group took my direction well, it was difficult to get them all motivated and just improvise some small sections of the game show after me telling them a title to a section in the game, this was slightly stressful trying to work with people who just didn't care and didn't like the idea so didn't bother trying but never came up with an alternative idea so I found this frustrating and rude. I did appreciate that not everyone enjoys comedy as its not easy and having comedic timing is everything so some people do struggle with comedy, and even though this is my strong point I would have tried my hardest with something serious and dark as its respectful to the person with the idea. But some people clearly couldn't be bothered so just stood on stage doing nothing which made me think what was the point them taking drama if they didn't even want to try improvising tiny sections.
