Devising material with all three of the education groups is really challenging, mainly just because of the size of our group. There are so many ideas going around that conflict is easily sparked. However, the process is made easier for us because were not devising from scratch. We have a huge resource bank of material from our individual pieces and so theoretically its just a case of putting them into one group piece.
Education isn't something that I would choose to make a human rights piece about, of course its still an issue i care about especially as it has a direct effect on me as a student and therefore I have opinions and views on the matter that im able to put into the work. But its not something that i feel as passionately about as Grenfell. Because of this the devising process doesn't come as naturally as im not able to tap into those inner feeling that push into the work i make. Therefore I found myself staying silent for a lot of the devising because there were so many voices going on it would only be unhelpful to add to the noise and chaos of what was going. However, i was quite sad that i didn't have more of an input because devising is something i love and there were many moments in which i had ideas but choose to withhold them. I think a lot of other people in the group possible felt the same way, and this was reflected in how we would make work. I felt that as a group our care and love for the piece wasn't present and this would only make the process more difficult. A lack of commitment & desire to create something good and effective was reflected in the small amounts of work that we made, making little progress because time was frequently wasted arguing amongst ourselves.
