the risk, day 3, week 1

Today its all about the risk, the entire group meet to do the regular exersise of walm up, exitment and antisipation are in the air, the grouped discusses the poem the road not taken "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim Because it was grassy and wanted wear, Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I marked the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Robert Frost" (http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-road-not-taken/ 24th October 2012) We discussed the meaning of the poem, and how it was possibly saying in life you have choices, the two roads being a meterphor for desissions we make, we have the choice of the easy road or rougth high road, and are the rewards greater if you take the hard route. We then had to pick a quote from the ground and get into our groups, we were joined today by new group members Kev Glover and Sinead Maddix, as a 7 we got to work talking about our personal risks again, going into ideas of what we could do with our risks and come up with a concept for our performance. At one point we toyed with the idea of a split between a school of the 1970s and 2000s to show how youth had changed within a generation, but unfortunatly, even with an improvised rehersal to toy with the idea, it just didn't seem to work. We went home to ponder ideas for the following week. It was during this break I had a lightbulb moment where we physically take the audience on a journey after remembering a quote a lecturer at college had once said to me "theatre is a journey" it was this that inspired me to pit to the group that the performance roam the grounds of cannon hill park, the idea was well recieved and as a group we discussed routes, possible sinarios and staging ready for the next week.
