Yesterday we got a stimulus that involved letters for our devised piece. We got into 2 groups of 4 and 3 and brainstormed ideas of what our performance could include, and we came up with ideas of what the letter could be about, and we came up with ideas which included a person leaving home,someone who is in the Army and test results from a hospital. Eventually we came up with an idea about a girl who is writing a suicide note to her mother.
We have decided to add elements of comedy in this show. Such as doing a cheer-leading style dance for one scene to the song 'Everything is Awesome!'. We enjoyed doing this scene because it is fun, entertaining and different. This will also be good in the show because the audience will not be expecting it. We have also added a new scene where we all get closer together and begin singing 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. This will also be a funny scene because once again the audience will not be expecting it and they will find it funnier.

This post conflates a couple of sessions where the stimulus was introduced and the process of creating the piece began, and a later session involving a piece designed to change the mood.
ReplyDeleteYou mention brainstorming and discussion, you could include more detail about some of the other ideas which came out of this.
