1. What was your initial response to the stimuli and what were the intentions of the piece?2. What work did your group do in order to explore the stimuli and start to create ideas for performance?
• Focus on the practical application of your research and stimulus material. How did the stimulus material influence your piece in terms of plot outline, style of presentation, images or themes?
C1 Devising Portfolio
3. What were some of the significant moments during the development process and when rehearsing and refining your work?
• When looking at ‘significant moments’ look at your logbooks. What rehearsals stood out where significant progress was made or a break through occurred? Write about ideas that were both accepted and rejected as a result of exploration, giving full reasons to justify the choices that you made. Be specific.
• Identify significant moments in rehearsal when practical advances were made in the development of your material and your piece.

4. How did you consider genre, structure, character, form, style, and language throughout the process?
• GENRE/STYLE – The style should define the piece and be evident to your audience from the opening scene. Did you use a range of styles and approaches?
• FORM/STRUCTURE – This refers to the whole range of drama strategies that you used, from monologue to still images. You must give the audience the opportunity to go on a journey with the characters. Which forms of theatre were most appropriate for the impact that you intended to make and remember to continually justify why decisions were made throughout the process.

4. How did you consider genre, structure, character, form, style, and language throughout the process?
This is a personal response about you and your role(s) and, as with all the written evidence, it needs to be written in the first person.
There are three stages to this question.i. To identify early research into your characterii. How your piece practically developed for you through
individual research and through 1/2 breakthrough moments in the rehearsal process
iii. To recognise your role as part of the whole piece and not to see it in isolation. Consider how your role(s) complemented those of others and why it might have been necessary to contrast with other characters for the purpose of emphasis for the audience.

5. How effective was your contribution to the final performance?6. Were you successful in what you set out to achieve?• You need to self-analyse as this evaluation requires you to be balanced
and honest in your view of ‘success’.• The first thing you need to so is BE CLEAR about what your AIMS and
INTENTIONS for your piece actually were.• Avoid generalisations that mean little. Instead root your answer in the
actual performance. Select two/three central scenes to your piece.• As a performer you know instinctively how the audience received a
certain scene. It may be nothing like what you expected or intended. Remember that their reactions are vital.
• It might be worth noting your beginning and ending. How did you grab your audience from the word go and how did you leave them feeling when they left?
• What more might you have done in terms of scene order, editing, adding new scenes, the way the story was told, changing the staging or the music? Was your central message clear? If not, how would you clarify for future performances? C1 Devising Portfolio
