Throughout the process of creating our shakespeare re- imagined piece, we had a lot of challenges which we needed to overcome as well as many achievements. One of the biggest problems we faced was absence and illness. This meant that we were not able to work as quickly was we would have liked. Also, it meant the choreography wasn't as developed as it could have been because people weren't there, to allow us to choreograph and develop it. Another problem we faced when people were at lessons, was motivation to get up and actually choreograph. A lot of the time, we ended up sitting around talking, rather than up and dancing.  As a group there was a tendency to go with, that will do rather than, how can we make it better. However, some members tried to complete the work. Although we had more challenges than achievements, we managed to resolve all problems creatively. One aspect of the piece that was very successful was the use of the performance space and architecture. We used stairs and lift in order to create interesting parts for the audience. I feel as a group we had our ups and downs, but in the long run, created a piece that explored a less obvious side of King Lear, exploring the relationships within the family and why the king went.
