Using Google Docs
Drama 88
Day 6
Thank god for Google docs! This week the group’s task was to create a proposal for our performance. During class we decided to create a Google doc, which allowed all us to collaborate using our laptops at the same time on the document. As soon as Olivia made the Google doc, we started to assign each group member with his or her responsibility. My responsibility was to write about the project development ideas. I wrote about how we included the Brechtian technique into our performance along with audience participation. Since we were required to perform a scene during our proposal, each group member played a role. Josh was the drunken frat guy, Luke was an oblivious, dumfounded teenage girl, Stan was the narrator, and Olivia, Kim, and I were portrayed the audience for this particular scene. Since my responsibility was to write about the project development idea, I elaborated on how we used various techniques. The audience participation comes into effect when Stan asks the audience to tell us what is wrong with the picture and what the characters are doing. This also ties into the technique known as breaking the fourth wall, where the barrier between the actors and the audience is broken when Stan directly address to the audience.
For the proposal development, of the Google doc program helped us out tremendously. It allowed us to collaborate through our laptops from the comfort of our own dorms. This technology helped us input our ideas in a single document, which allowed all the group members to see with ease. Through the Google doc, each member was able to view the other members’ work and also provide beneficiary criticism that helped each and every one of us in a positive manner. This was a very helpful tool in our proposal development because it encouraged tremendous flow of ideas through the keyboards of our laptops, which lead to new and exciting concepts that were developed for our performance such as breaking the fourth wall.
