### **Q\&A (answers every day at 10am)**



1. Should a common story/theme/plot exist between the different parts? because you're asking to balance act 1 \& 2 but what about the entrance and final?



more than a story or a plot, the different parts should be aware of each other.  

The different parts don't need to necessarily relate literally but can have common points or different tones, it be nice this time (if possible) to have more awareness of what the other groups are working on
