We had a piece which represented the women working. Today in our run through we got to incorporate this into the final piece. We went into another room just the girls to recap this piece. We then decided to create another short section we could use as a transition, because we hadn't had much of a part in the overall show. We decided to pick 4 jobs women did in the war; seamstress, driver, factory worker and baker. We then got into groups and created short sequences of 3 or 4 movements to represent this job.
When we came to show the women's work section we asked if we could use the motif section to transition and it worked really well. I think the women working section was really important to add. This is because women during world war 1 were often overlooked as they weren't sacrificing their lives. But they did enlighten themselves on the fact that they could work for their own money and they liked it. World war 1 was a platform for ladies to develop from housewives to women. It was the start of a movement and revolution in gender roles which has totally changed the way we live today. This also allowed for are group to have more of a shared responsibility in the overall piece.
