Section (A)
As briefly mentioned before, my personal context can prove to contribute to the development of this collaborative process as I aim to please and accommodate each member of the group by moulding ideas together. In addition, with my passion for music/sounds and lighting I feel this will definitely help in conveying the message and theme we choose - as I will be able to direct which lighting states should be used in order to convey specific emotions, as well as what music/sounds should be used to perfectly capture the tension and emotion within a scene.
- What are your strengths within the creative process?
- What inspires you as an artist?
- Has there been any particular workshop or live theatre experience that has stuck with you and in spired your creative decisions within DP theatre?
- How can this personal context (your strengths, interests and passions) contribute to the development of this collaborative process?

- What prompted you to explore Frantic Assembly? What interest you about their work?
- Referring to specific research findings, define what makes Frantic Assembly unique. What separates them from other theatre companies?
- Can you make any connections between other styles/practitioners that you have studied during DP theatre?
- How can Frantic's ideas influence your collaborative project? ie; collaboration style, production elements, pre-show, movement style, universal themes.
Section (B)
- How do each of your individual strengths and interests work together and complement each other to create and effective ensemble?
- What interested you in the image you chose?
- How did it act as a catalyst for your creative process? What creative journey did it inspire?
Tests would be in order to examine and study how these people survive, and how they have managed to survive in extreme conditions without modern day weapons.
- How did you explore this stimulus?
