Minutes taken by – Navina

Points discussed Discussed our opinions so far on the scenes we’ve read. Discussed how we could create tension and a more of an intense relationship between Carla and

Nicole, in scene 3. Zahra – Scene 4 – finds the character Nicole, has changed dramatically, from bad/rude to friendly.

This change is very quick. Sara – summarized scene 4, to re-cap what happens in the scene and how Nicole suddenly opens

up to Yasmine. Nazish – Slightly disagrees with Sara and Zahra. Feels Nicole and Yasmine need to open up in scene

4 as the next scene that has Nicole and Yasmine together, is in scene 6. In scene 6, both of them talk to each other about how they got in the prison, so they need to be friendly.

Discussed how we could change the dialogues in scene 4 to stop Nicole from becoming overly friendly. Possibly create a situation where Nicole is forced to/accidently open/s up to Yasmine.

Carried on reading the script, from scene 9. Same people reading the same characters. Also gave feedback after reading each scene.

Sara – Scene 10 – feels there are not enough dialogues in the scene. All the dialogues in the scene are very quick and short.

Majority of the people in the team – confused about the idea of Nicole telling the truth to Yasmine first, and then straight away telling her it was just a joke.

Discussed about problems. According to our production schedule, we are meant to be holding auditions for the whole school, next week on Monday, which is not possible because of the little time left and lack of preparation for the auditions.

Discussed about which day, next week, we could hold the whole school auditions.Action agreed

1. Change dialogues in scene 3, between Carla and Nicole so that it’s different to the dialogues between the inmates.

2. Tone down the relationship between Yasmine and Nicole in scene 4. Change dialogues in scene 4 to show a gradual build-up between Yasmine and Nicole and Nicole’s attitude, rather than a quick change.

3. Change dialogues in scene 9, to show that Inmate 1’s and Inmate 2 are specifically looking for Carla’s file, instead of just looking through the files without any intentions.

4. Show a negative relationship between Carla and Inmate 1 & 2, before scene 9.
