One of the hardest elements of devising there is, and probably one of the main elements that can really decide the effect of the piece and effect the piece in general as a whole, is dialogue. Dialogue is one of the cure elements of a play, film or musical as it becomes our understanding of the story and of characters and character relationships - and we become very reliant on it. So for any piece of drama, especially those where straight drama and acting is the centre and the storyline is powerful, its absolutely vital that the dialogue is effective.
To explore this in more detail, the class was split into different groups and we were asked to explore and create the final scene from a play called He's Talking by Nicholas Wright. The reason this was a very good play to explore if we focusing on creating effective dialogue is because a lot of the lines are very wordy and complex and but, when focused on, effectively tell the story.
