Today we did a new piece for our devised performance. We had to work in partners and swap 3 times and do three different abstract movements in each scene. The scene which we were supposed to be acting out was meant to be the funeral of the girl who has killed herself.
Firstly, I worked with Meaghan. We came up with an idea that because I am playing the deceased girl's younger sister and Meaghan is playing the girl's friend, that she was offering me support. We started off by walking up to each other, hugging, and putting our arms round each other's shoulders, and finally walking off. Secondly, I worked with Eleni. We both came up with an idea that because our characters don't know each other that much, we came up with a movement of us putting our arms round each other, moving side to side, and finally letting go of each other but our arms are the last to leave and they slide across both our arms. Finally, I worked with Demi. We came up with an idea that maybe my character knows Demi's character more than Meaghan or Eleni's character. We decided to reach out to each other and then hug, and slowly walk away.
I thought the work was a good and interesting. It was also different. I enjoyed it because it was something new and it could come in useful for the future, so I would enjoy to do this type of work again.
There is some description here of the process and of the final piece of work created in the session. You also start to say what is being represented in the work, but your posts should go into more detail about the emerging show and the way that we are creating material for it.
