Business (4) - Task A - Powerpoints

In today's lesson, we presented out research as a PowerPoint presentation to the rest of the class. We all did three theatre companies each, and a few of us picked the same companies. However, this was quite useful as we could then see if we had missed any information out. James also used National Theatre as one of his companies. What I liked about his presentation was that he zoomed in on the important people involved with the company.

For example, I learned that Rufus Norris (the artistic director of the company) is a multi-award winning theatre director, with his awards including the Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Newcomer (Afore Night Came), two Olivier's and a Critics' Circle Award. James also did the Royal Shakespeare Company and Frantic Assembly in his presentation. Oliver also did Frantic Assembly, and I really liked the company's quote which he put in his PowerPoint: "We began with little more than a fierce work ethic and a desire to do something different and to do it differently". Ollie's other two chosen companies were also National Theatre and the Really Useful Group. What I liked about Ollie's Really Useful Group section, was that he included random facts, such as "approximately 1 in 3 of all visits to a London musical is to a Really Useful Group theatre".
