New Movement:We decided that we wanted more
movement in our piece; however, we were debating where to put it. We have our
opening, a piece between the first and second scene and the idea of potentially
adding an ending. We agreed that we wanted to use the Lord's Prayer to end it
all, but wasn't sure what movement we would do. Therefore we discussed what
other movement we could do. We decided that we wanted to show Abigail realising
that she is going to get found out and her deciding to leave, with Mary. We
decided that we would show everyone turning away from Abby as the sequence
continues. We kept the same characters we played from the previous movement
piece - which were very similar to our actual ones: I was carrying a child,
which would still work for Elizabeth. We decided to use our ideas from our
previous movement piece to create a sort of motif - we begin this new movement
piece in the same positions as we ended our last one, but this time we all face
the back, apart from Ollie K and Hope. Hope and Ollie K do a hymn hand section
to show how they used to be quite intimate but Ollie then backs away and turns
to face the back. We then all did a short round-by-through section one at a
time with Abby - we did these duet sections in reverse order to which we got
accused in the previous movement piece. When we are not partaking in a
round-by-through we would walk around the space, but go into slow-motion when a
duet is taking place. This is fitting to our last movement piece. The benefit
of doing a fairly simple but captivating movement piece is that there are no
lifts that could be risky in a different location - we wouldn't know if we
could do a lift in our chosen location as we don't know how high the ceilings
are at the moment and how big the rooms actually are.
Scene 4: We performed some of this scene in
the space today, but we didn't manage to complete it due to timing. However, we
understood our characters feelings and worked on our character interactions and
relationships.
