This lesson we worked on creating the opening scene to our performance. We started with a modern twist on the greek myth, it is started at a party, and we decided to have a movement piece to start it and get the audience's attention. After creating the start of our movement piece and running out of ideas to include so we decided to try out a greek begining. In this we tried to create a authentic greek party for the king. Two of the guests at the party become intoxicated and start a fight with each other, adding more for the year 7s to watch. Also within it we decided to include a greek dance and an interuption during the dance to add some comedy. This will add entertainment to our piece making it enjoyable for the year 7's, it will also allow me to use some of my skills helping to choreograph and dance it. After trying both ways we decided to stick with the greek beginning as it is different to anything we have done before and we managed to create more for it. 

I have researched some Greek music and looked at videos of Greek dancing to give us inspiration for what to put in the dance.
