drama contest preparation

day 1

Our drama group consists of five 3rd year pupils who will be entering the European Platform's first ever TTO Drama Contest, open to all 2nd and 3rd year classes in TTO schools in the Netherlands. The idea is simple - every participating school has been sent the same prop, and a 5 minute scene has to be written around this prop.

The prop is a collapsible suitcase..... 

During the first meeting the 5 girls, Robin, Cheyenne, Zoe, Eva and Josephine brainstormed possible scenarios that could be used as a basis for a script involving a suitcase of this sort.

At the end of the meeting, each girl was to make a list of possible script ideas for next lesson.


day 2

We finally decided to let our collapsible suitcase possess magical powers. In much the same vein as the genie with the lamp, our working title became 'Be Careful What You Wish For'.

Because of the pressing time factor, and the fact that we only had one lesson at school per week for preparation, the girls ended up having  'repetition sleepovers'  in which details for the costumes, script eetc were worked on.
