In our piece we wanted our audience to think about how hard women’s lives became during the war and what they endured. We created a split-screen performance . One half was men going through war and life on the front lines and the other half was what the women were doing as the men were gone. Actions like scrubbing and carrying a baby allowed are audience to understand what was going on. There is a clear distinction between the portrayal of the men and women . The actions that represented the women looked easier and looked like manual work whilst the actions portrayed by the men were meant to be more gruesome and hard. Making our performance a split scene performance meant that you could see what is was like for two different people at the same time . It showed the audience the two different experiences that women and men went through during the war.
