3 key moments- noted down details- why it was important/interesting story- one age 7, one age 12, one age 18.
All told stories in front of class- emotional/powerful/interesting.
Got into groups of 5- used timelines to explore story in detail- asked loads of questions e.g. surroundings/senses/emotions experienced- helped visulaise the world of the play/become engaged in other stories- more detail/description = more exciting/believable stories.
chose a story (Ella's counselling story)- find orginial/creative way to present this
Consider objectives/units/characters/story telling.
Rehearsal process- justify choices/blocking/strenghts & weaknesses.
Outcome of first piece- evaluate
Second story
New groups- with Gabriel/Poppy/Lottie
Each had childhood stories relating to teeth (my story age 7)
Made each story short/snappy/clear- using lots oh physical movement/enegry.
Need to break into clear objectives/units/what we want to portray.
Second story- changed
New idea- Dad's leaving daughters.
Disappearing act- Magic/comedic effect- Magician does magic trick to make dad disappear, can't make him come back. Slap & tickle effect.
Repeat phrases from timeline, showing what happened straight after. I repeated 'Silence.'
Phrase accompanied by physical movement in a set pattern, building up in canon.
Sound bulit up, tension rose until Poppy screams, becoming too much for them.
Repeat Lottie/Poppy's thought process- added power/meaning to words.
Ring tone- build up- canon- build up on tension/shows how frustrating it is.
Poppy/Lottie ask questions- reply with automatic reply- voicemail- shows how they don't care/ are never there for them.
Great British dad off- play cheesy/ordinary Dads- show how they are normal people with normal lives- not villains.
Send text without glasses/dance off- comedic & fun atmosphere created- juxtaposes how they never had this and wished they had- idealistic family
Sudden/shocking contrast- life is hard.
Needs to be shorter/more polised.
