After organising a meeting with the head teacher of Oathall, Harry and I visited the school on the 19th November. It was a great time to really sell our company, our mission statement and impress a figure of authority outside of college.
An issue we faced was wanting to peform our show to year groups that were studying for their GCSEs. The prospect of having our preferred year groups as an audience lookef problematic. However, we sold the show as an extremely accessible performance for all students as well as subjects not only in subject content but also dramatic style. We agreed that english students would benefit from the script writing as well as story telling, music students with the live musical accompaniment and musical eras, dance students with the physical theatre and pure dance scenes and PSHCE students with the community outreach and topics addressed throughout. The response was extremely positive and the vast amount of options we gave didn't restrict the school.
We didn't get a date set, however, they are forming a meeting with heads of department and years to organise what they will choose, so a date shall certainly be booked!
It was a great experience liasing with people outside of college, it helped that I had known the headmaster so the atmosphere was very relaxed. Also having the responsibility to sell our company in a professional manner was really enjoyable and greatly grew my confidence.
