During this lesson I watched the group perform their 'forced marriage' scene as I wasn't in when this piece was constructed. Then we ran through our Human Trafficking scene and had photographs taken. We also spent some time talking about costume and decided that we're all going to wear blacks and then have a small item of clothing we can change into to show that we are a different character to who we were before. The ideas I gave this lesson was that we should use different colour lighting depending on what scene we're doing. Another idea I gave this lesson which I think could be very powerful and useful would be when I am guiding Ellie to each man that each of them slowly take off her clothes until I catch her and she's all in black. The reason I think this is poweful and would have a big impact on the audience is because it shows that throughout her life as a slave she'll be treated badly by men until she comes back to me and is left with nothing (shown by her wearing all black and no costume left).
 Next lesson I plan on making the projection for our performance, this will help as the audience won't get confused between our scene changes. This lesson we could have improved things by choosing what colours we're going to use for each scene and/or start working on our next scene which is the suffragette scene.
