Student & Host Placement Agreement Form Part 2

# data[].attributes.body
My initial plan was to carry out my placement at North Edinburgh Arts to teach but due to a mixture of my personal life bereavement and employment changes at North Edinburgh Arts meant that this was not possible. Due to the timing of this in order to have a secure placement within my deadlines I had to take an in house placement at Edinburgh College and slightly adapt my aims and goals.
This was stressful and hectic during the time as I was concerned I would not be able to fulfil the module criteria

The first thing I was asked to do on my placement was to watch the film ‘Bugsy Malone’as this is the musical the students will be performing before the Easter break. Once I had a grasp of the story I had to research and come up with ways of modernising the storyline as we would be turning it from being based in New York in the 1920s to the current year 2020. During my contact time with the students I was also able to collect research that they had done about modern day New York that was related to the play. This meant that I could work with the director and make the executive decision changes that had to be made. Further research that I had to do was search for props that would be better suited for this college performance of the musical. For example in most productions of ‘Bugsy Malone’ there is the use of custard pies or ‘splurge guns’ however in the college theatre due to the mess caused this can’t be what the students use so an alternative had to be found. After some discussion it was decided that a toy gun that made a noise itself or had a lighting effect would be the best option which meant my next task was researching different types of toy guns and working out budgets for the props. This research process helped me massively with my goals for the project as whilst I was assisting and being a helping hand to the director I learnt that it is something that it is a crucial process for the cast and crew of a musical theatre show to go through. This is because they need to know what needs adapted and work out how to do so to fit their vision for their version of the musical whilst staying on budget.

Pro’s and con’s of working independantly for half my placement;

-self motivation (con) having to have the self discipline and motivation to get things done when they are for the right deadlines

-time managament

-extra time to double check work (pro)
