Ellie has blogged about Bassett

For the last few months gold company have been been rehearsing and putting together a show called Bassett, a past connections show. It's a show about some year 11 students who have been locked in a classroom by their citizenship teacher and one particular student, Leo, takes it much more harshly than the rest and ends up spray painting a wall and piling people on top of each other. Rehearsal wise we started off the first few weeks preparing the short 10 minute opening of it for the 21st of may, we made sure it was a strong audience worthy show and it definitely payed off, after the showcase on the 21st we started to focus on later parts of the play, creating the right atmosphere and building the characters. Thinking about action and reaction, feeling the emotion rather than just doing the emotion and it definitely built the show and made it much stronger, this also helped us create the right feel for the ending- where Leo goes nuts. After months of rehearsals show day came and if I do say so myself it went amazing, we got loads of amazing reviews from the audience, one of those being my grandad wanting a part 2, which unfortunately we cannot give, because we're moving onwards and upwards into preparing for our Christmas show! I'm so sad it's now over because I thoroughly enjoyed creating Bassett but I'm so excited to start something new!
