Review of 'Skeleton In My Closet'


Is this an effective piece of TiE and why?
It was effective but didn’t really offer any advice until the hotseating.  The drama was good and well acted but it lacked that bit of sincerity as (thankfully), none of them have evr been through an eating disorder before.  They had obviously done their research but it didn’t seem as personal and sincere as the ‘Family Portrait’ performance.
What conventions have they used?
As the audience entered, Imogen was singing.  They used a lot of thought tracking, especially Beth who played the mum.  They also had a narrator, Imogen.  At the end of the piece, they did hotseating with Beth.  They had also planned to do a role-on-the-wall but didn’t have enough copies do it.  They then answered questions and received feedback from the audience.
How well did they work as a team on stage?
They worked more individually on stage with a lot of thought tracking and narrative but they had obviously worked well as team to create it in the first place.  They say that they have worked as a group well through the process and it was seen though the performance as they all knew what they were doing and were co-ordinated with each other throughout.
