I came late today due to having an english seminar clash with the beggining of the meeting. I wouldn't have called it a rehearsal as such as it was more some of us planning how we could possibly stage a political debate. We wrote different left and right wing arguments on paper and spoke about how these arguments could be presented. Different ideas, such as a Jeremy Kyle-esque way were presented but we decided as a group that such ideas would not work for a political debate and something related more closely to Question Time would better suit. We also discussed how it would be controlled, without the typical host asking members of an audience and the party leaders question after question, and so we decided that if the party leaders themselves were to give statements and the audience openly showing their interest or digust at the statements, the piece would be more interesting for the real audience to watch and be a part of.
In terms of developing the idea into a more structured and presentable piece, we progressed well, yet it would have been better if more of the class showed up for the rehearsal as we could have gathered more ideas and arguments that we could use for the piece, however, I do think that the things we came up with will be good and are worth while using and developing.
