So for one of our assessments, we were required to put together a 10-minute performance and teach a workshop to a group of kids. The kids would come to the uni and we would take them through a workshop relating to Music, Drama, Dance, Visual Art or Digital Media (as in creating podcasts and whatnot).
Our group was on today. We all rock up, get our equipment and get set for the kids. 10am arrives, still no kids. The tutor goes out to see if there's something amiss i.e. the bus got lost or if they needed parking permits. Comes back, says that they'll ring back.
10:15, still no kids. Then we finally get a call back from the school.
Turns out that the two teachers who were taking care of the classes that we were going to take screwed up royally with organising the trip. Each teacher thought that the other one was organising the trip.
We were given two options: either go to the school and do the performance + workshop, or just film the performances and send them off to the school. Our group and the other group that rocked up chose the latter option given that by then, it was almost 11am and the school was 20-minutes away. To somehow squeeze in 4 performances and workshops by then would've been impossible. (Our group, plus three other groups).
So yeah, we performed it before an audience, then we watched the other group. And I got to squirt the audience with a spray bottle
The best news that came out of that though, was that we weren't going to be failed based upon the organisation fuckup. The rule was that as long as we rocked up on the day to do our workshop and whatnot and had handed up everything else beforehand (i.e. reflections and whatnot), we would pass.
