PROCESS Yasmin The process was a roller coaster ride for me, at the start I was really excited to try something new and take on a more leading role within a company which I have found a challenge over the time I have been at Miskin, I felt the process itself was fine until casting came around as people In our group became very negative towards the casting and the piece itself, we have had many re castings in our group due to people being ill and other reasons but this didn't stop out group from progressing, there were many times when working with the small company that I felt disrespected and that people wouldn't listen to me which if it was an actual director wouldn't happen, however from my professional training this has helped me to become stronger in taking control which has helped me turn all the negatives of the process into a positive, I feel the biggest weakness for our company would be lack of communication which was the cause of many arguments however I feel all the arguments put aside I feel the piece was a success and the process everyone achieved a lot from. Sarah I thought the process started well and I was really excited, it got difficult once we had the script and had cast the piece because of commitment to the piece, I think that after Easter the piece really moved on and I'm quite happy with the outcome of the piece and how we all worked together as a smaller company. I also found that there was a lot of conflict a lot of the time throughout the process. From this process I think that we have been able to work out the flaws and strengths of our smaller company which we will hopefully be able to use in the next process. Amy This process for me has been very up and down; at times I've really enjoyed this process especially at the beginning when Tierney and I were writing the piece, the casting and starting rehearsals I really enjoyed. For me it became harder later on in the process as we had quite a a large group and communication was very lacking and there were a lot of silly arguments and bickering over nothing really, everyone speaking over each other really got in the way and by the end we kind of lost the story and had to lose some scenes due to attendance and time but then we created something brilliant when we grasped the story again. I wish I had more of a say in the writing though, it was Tierney's idea but a lot of what I wanted wasn't put in. Tierney This process for me has had it's ups and downs. For me as the assistant director I felt that I wasn't acknowledged and that really annoyed me for this process. When I did get my chance to take charged I was given the cold shoulder, I felt really uncomfortable when I came into the space and felt that I wasn't wanted. When my ideas were put in I felt really happy, but that feeling wasn't kept when disagreement came into the space. I was disappointed with the lack of attendance, and he arguing inside our group. I felt that we came out with a good piece at the end, but the communication could have been a lot better and the arguing. The arguing led to some of the script being cut which annoyed me, I really wanted those monologues put in but unfortunately with stress and lack of communication that didn't happen. Overall we had a good piece but at the same time it could have been improved and the process could have been a lot better. Emma R I personally think that this process was a great way for us to explore on our own and make our own choices on the piece we created. It was nice to have the freedom and I think it brought different sides out of each other which that I'd never seen before which I found interesting. We had a good script and I think even though we had our differences we pulled it together and made it work. It was hard some days to rehearsal and get things done when there has been a bad atmosphere within the group. I had fun but at times I just wanted it to be over, I think if we got the chance to do this again we would all have much more respect for one another and we would have made a stronger piece and had an overall more enjoyable process. Tommy At the start of this process I was glad to be part of my company again since I was in a position that could jeopardise my future at the Miskin, it was a fresh start for me since the Christmas show process and I was truly grateful for this. It was fluent from the start for my original group (Sam, Joe, Alex, Lilly and Jordan K) casting the piece and organising auditions, however it became more complicated since some actors were taken into the first years TIE, and most of the time I was with this group to rehearse for my character with Blake and Chris. But throughout the weeks of the process it was becoming more and more stressful for me to comprehend how we couldn't take direction, also how sometimes stress would acer in the room with no reason why! The respect level wasn't as high as we all expected it to be just like how we usually are with Robbie and Gavin, there's a difference between giving a note critically and being rude. But the piece could have been better, the last time was at a standard we would do on an opening night, if we were given the chance we would go forward with it a drive the piece and make it amazing.
