Training with Carl into fight

In order to bring about the idea that James could be Jamie, which sets off the whole end of the story, we needed to create a conversation about the conspiracy. Instead of having just a boring conversation I thought we could fit it into the theme by adding in a training session between two of the group and then more of the team start to appear and join in talking about James. To build and show the tension groweing between the group becuase of the Jamie-James thing the training session turns into a heated argument between Jeremy and Ruby, which then gives Sam a reason to threaten Jeremy with a warning. 

Too create our training sequence Carl and I created a short 'fighting' sequence that we could repeat while talking. The orignal sequence we created was quite long and so hard to remember while also trying come up with dialogue, so we shortened it to a really simple phrase of movement. 

I think this worked well in creating tension between the group and making the situation with James apparent to the audience. We could've developed the scene more by adapting the fight between Ruby and Jeremy to just be an argument, I felt like there didn't need to be a fight there as we already had quite a lot within the rest of the performance.
