Group Workshop

When working in a group to create a workshop it can be quite easy to over-complicate things, this happened within our group and it led to us creating a 20 minute interactive workshop which was more interactive than it actually was educational, there are many ways in which it could've been changed to make it so that it was more educational to the audience. For example, rather than focusing on the performance side of the workshop we could've focused more on the presenting side of it and ensured that the audience were gaining information. Although, there was a brief introduction before the performance within the workshop began, within this introduction we explained the ways of 'Blast Theory' which was the group that we were given as inspiration to create a workshop from.

Although the workshop didn't exactly go the way we were hoping it to go, it was still a process that I massively enjoyed partaking in and I was glad that I got to experience it, creating a workshop is so much more difficult than it seems as there are so many elements that you have to think about, it's pretty impossible to just come up with one after 5 minutes. We had several group meetings about what our workshop would entail, and it took us a lot of preparation before we felt like the workshop was ready to be presented.

If I was to make any changes, it would mostly be to the way we presented it, we focused too much on creating an enticing performance instead of having an informative presentation with a possible 5-minute performance that the audience could get themselves involved with. If I was to create a group workshop again, I would go about it in a completely different way and I would try to find more personal interest within the subject that I was creating a workshop from.
