Successes:

• We developed our raw, basic ideas into a stronger performance that was more complex
• Sophisticated performance style
• We didn’t settle until we reached a satisfactory outcome
• We continued refining our performance until we were happy with it
• There was little conflict between group members when incorporating ideas
• We were able to base our performance on a stimulus and storyline (Inside Out)
• We were able to develop our performance based on the feedback we received
• We collaborated well
• We gave constructive feedback within the group
• We encouraged other members in the group
• Personally, I feel that I contributed greatly to the refining of our ideas as I continued to think about how we could improve our performance and storyline.

Challenges:

• We weren’t confident enough in our idea, didn’t believe in ourselves and our performance
• We refined a bit too much sometimes because we kept stopping run-throughs to change parts of the performance
• It took us quite a long time to come up with a storyline that we were satisfied with
• We focused too much on the storyline and forget to focus on the important criteria about character development
