Protest : Increase in university fees
My group and I decided to protest about the increase in university fees and how it will affect us in the future we picked this topic because we felt that everyone in the school can relate to this as it affects everyone's future. We wanted to make this performance to be eye pleasing and abstract so we set it so that we will be constantly moving and interacting with the audience by asking them questions "Have you got enough money to pay for university" or "Have you got any spare change to put towards my university fees"
The university fee increase has lead to a decrease in applicants by 15,000 meaning that many people are finding it hard to pay the new amount therefore the government could be stopping the future doctors lawyers and accounts of the future because they come from a low income family. The fee increase has lead to violent protest on the streets of London there has also been a 7.2% in the number of 18-19 year old applying to further education between the years 2009-2010.
Evaluation of protest
I felt that the protest went well we engaged our target audience very well and hopefully had them thinking about what they plan to do with their futures. I was also happy with the fact that our protest did not have a proper liner narrative so that if any one just came halfway through the protest it would still make sense to them. Each one of us really went for it during our protest talking loud and clear so that every word was heard as an improvement my group could change the place we did our protest because I felt that the audience capacity was small and if we was in the canteen we could of reached a larger audience.
