Today we gave Joyce an insight into British culture by showing her the Parrot sketch from Monty Python.  Joyce is our new member of staff from Hong Kong who works with us in session.  Alan and I were doing sketches from Monty Python and she didn't know what it was.

This afternoon we watched some of the shadows that we have recorded in the last few days.  They were loads of different people making all sorts of shapes.

In the morning we went out into the courtyard again and split into 5 groups and make a sort of map of the courtyard.  It was so we would know the space we would be performing in.

The participants were impressed at seeing all the shadows on the big screen in Studio 1.  Dave showed us some of the process from filming in front of the green screen to getting a white silhouette.  Because it will be dark outside the shadows will be white instead of black as they will show up more against the buildings and will also be more scary.

We played another version of Grandmother's Footsteps, but this time Grandma has a helper who will send back to the start the people who Grandma spots moving.

The residents who come on Friday will be surprised by all our tech equipment.  They might know MTG are here but not really what we do.  I don't think they will be scared - well a bit - but we are making it funny scary.

The participants are really looking forward to Friday and seeing it all put together.
