For this workshop, we wanted to explore the ways we can showcase this performance. As the scene stop and change so quickly we thought hard about trying to remove things off stage while having another scene be on stage straight away. That did give me anxiety just thinking about quickly I need to be off or on stage. As we all discussed the scenes, it did not seem right to have all the action center stage.  So we decided to trial a few ways we could imagine the scenes to be. I thought of having the stage split to one right side and one left side and have the audience all facing one way. We did a trial and it works well with the scenes but still continued to explore more possibilities so we came up with an exhibition-style performance. Now, this does work to some degree, the audience will move but the actors will stay. This does remind me of the Brechtian technique of the audience always knowing it is a performance and not get too attached to the characters.  Again this did look good however it seemed like some people may get a good view of the performance some would not be able to see it so it kind of loses its touch as we want everyone to see it comfortable. This workshop was interesting as we were exploring how the way the performance is presented it can have an impact on the audience.
