Our task for this acting style was to perform a scene from Mid-Summers Nights Dream, the scene we were given didn't have enough characters for everyone to be in it so three of the group members decided to step back and take a role on the production side of the scene, I was one of these three people, I was assistant director and lighting designer, me and the director worked together discussing how we wanted people to play their roles to make the main character Bottom to stand out, everyone cooperated with me and the director apart from one person who near enough refused the direction he was given and decided he would play the character his own way as he didn't like the way he was told to play it, I feel this made mine and the directors job pointless and we might has well not of been there if people just decide not to take direction.
Overall I think my group worked well together apart from the one person, I enjoyed the scene from Mid-Summers Nights Dream as I am familiar with this play and I enjoyed it when I was in it. I normally don't like Shakespeare but I was quite lucky we got given this play and I was also able to take a different role in creating a performance, I enjoyed working with other people and giving them direction and allowing myself to be quite creative and modern with a Shakespeare piece.
