Materials and equipment required	Where they can be found or do I need to buy them?
Lighting	The lighting will already be provided in the David Sharp Theater, it will be all set up already, and this will cost nothing as the school is providing it.
Music	Renee and Mr Macintosh worked together and downloaded the music for our performance and put them on a disk, this didn’t cost any money as it was a free download.
Props	The props were the table and chairs, we have loads of these in school so they provided us with it, this was also no cost.
Costume	All of us will have our own costumes, some little bits like the school ties are borrowed from the Drama block, this doesn’t cost any money.

Medium	How I would use this medium – on its own or in combination?
Talking to the audience	Just before the end of the performance I will be talking to the audience asking them questions about what they have seen, what are the characters problems, and how can they be resolved, this will engage the audience and make them feel involved.
Performing	Throughout the performance up until I talk to the audience, our group will be taking different roles of the performance, we are speeding the message of abused girls to the audience by acting different scenes.
