During WW2 crime rose by a reported 57%. Fraud, gang culture, looting, and robbery impacted on people’s everyday life. Along with poverty, hunger, illness, and exceptional pressure – what was home really like?
This pack will guide you through a six-week devising process exploring how we create stories, characters, develop a structure and how to use research and artefacts as stimulus to develop your own project in relation to WWII. Each week, we will look at a different part of the devising process and explore in detail a year from the war. The packs are accompanied by work on the Bounce Theatre website where you will find radio plays, stories, online interactive installations and much more.
Pack 5 Teacher Aims: To encourage your students to reflect on their play so far and analyse its structure, to learn about “deserters” in WWII, to encourage your students to consider stories from different characters’ perspectives.
Pack 5 Student Outputs: Ensure a solid understanding of your play and its structure, develop a “pre-show”, learn about the qualities of a good opening scene, develop creative transitions between scenes.
