Throughout the rehearsal process, our group struggled severely with successfully delivering the song 'Ain't Got No'. I feel like this was because we didn't understand the context of the song and the frustration embedded in the lyrics and it was also a song where every one was responsible for their own line so it would really bring light to those to are going home and doing the extra rehearsal that is needed in preparation for the next rehearsal session and who is not. To be fair the song is very different and something as a class we haven't looked at before. In the link below you can see we were short casted as auditions to higher education drama schools were still ongoing and we were also very under rehearsed it is highly cringe to watch because we don't know our lines and we are not performing as a company or delivery at the higher level that second year students should be.

In the second clip below you see our acting lecturer Justin trying to help us with our characterisation and understand of the song because we were just singing the song meaninglessly. We lacked authenticity, we needed to really display the frustration and alienation we felt as a tribe and think about our motivation and responses. The only way we can resolve this problem is by knowing the words off book because then we can focus more on characterisation and it can stop sounding broken apart.
