Group Composition

Group: Identity

Group composition. Firstly, it was really hard to meet together since some people have morning classes, afternoon time, people work and also have classes, evening? Some of us have night classes, which ends 8:30p or even 9:00p. But we met at night to figure out the composition.
None of the group members has background on drama or theater. It was hard to think what is good composition and bad. Honestly it is hard to think how to create composition.
Because the group is focusing on identity, we decided to tear down German identity into pieces and kill the main of identity – which we though nationalism – and rebuilding them. For the song, we chose German anthem to emphasize more focus on the nationalism.
Starting in a vertical linear format with different levels indicates different identity that made up German as one. Then it scattered out and got individual strong characteristic and yells out “ICH bin ein Deutscherin!” European nations became more nationalistic as well as German, then war broke out and German controlled most of Europe. Then German lost the war, the German nationalism died. After that, scattered identity put hands together; help to rebuild nationalism and German identity.
Although we had some parts of careless composition because we haven’t noticed that parts, I think it was pretty nice composition.
