Performance of Peace and Conflict

In our workshop performance we performed the pieces of music which we created as a musical ensemble. We performed these live infront of an audience. We were quite proud of our Peace song so we decided to also record it and we then used this as part of another project which we had. 
Throughout the song I think everything was evenly spread out, everyone got a chance to do something which made them individual and made the audience notice them on a particular part. For example, Mohan had a solo part for the piece song which worked beautifully as he is an amazing singer. We also had lines each to sing so everyones voice got noticed. 
Unfortunately we didn't really use any dancing in our performance as we didn't really feel it was necessary and wouldn't work, however you can use dancing and acting within a performance to emphasis something, and make it more of a performance, although I believe it would make it more of a theatrical piece, whereas we just wanted to focus on the music which we had made and didn't want anything to put this off. I guess we could have added acting and dancing to act out the scenes which we were singing about or what was happening in the video behind us.
