building the ensemble 

the ensemble in general was the thing we focused on the most and i also thought this was the hardest thing we had to do as we had a lot to do and a lot of difficult things to and if the ensemble wasnt up to standard, the play could still go on but with out the ensemble i feel as if the play wouldve lost its magic. i feel one reason why the ensemble work went really well was because we bonded through the rehearsals for example us as the ensemble directed  ourselves so it felt more free and natural because we were doing stuff that we all collectivly agreed with and if something went wrong or didnt work we didnt complain we just tried something else and i thought that having that freedom of letting us devise some of the physical work bonded us and as an ensemble that is key.


As for building the exercise we did many exercises like the spooning exercise where you would lead someone around the room by holding there neck and once you let go they would fall to the ground, and when someone fell to the ground they would lie in position and someone would lie next to them spooning them and carrying them over there body so that they can both stand and the process would keep on going until we were told to stop i found this really effective at first i found it a bit funny that i had to spoon my fellow piers but as the process went on i feel as if it really bonded us as an ensemble.
