What i am about to write may perhaps seem wishy washy, But it is all i can write as it is the truth of the experience i had.
In first year we were made equipped to deal with any kind of complications that may arise in the sometimes tricky world of artistic group work. And with such a large group i went n to this process armed with all of DeBono's six hats ready to defuse any dodgy situations.
I can honestly say that all six hats stayed in the cupboard. we all respected and worked coherently with each other. That is not to say that we didn't ever annoy each other because we did, but we calmly spoke to each other about what we thought was wrong. and when we got irrationally annoyed because someone chewed there sandwich to loudly, we just took five minutes. there were times when we left rehearsals frustrated not with each other really, but with the piece but always someone would send out a facebook message or text that lifted our spirits just saying that tomorrow we would make a fresh start.
we always trusted our out side eye. and if you wanted to see a scene you could always take a turn of sitting out to see what the whole picture (minus yourself of coarse) looked like.
I am under no illusions that all ensembles work so easily together but w really did we were all open about how we felt and accepted that at times we would be stressing and needed a break. no one brought moods or issues to rehearsal. we all did our best to come into the space with an open mind. I was lucky as were my friends and group members to have such a co-operative group and i thank all of them for the experience.
