Devising (9) - Mine & Rob's scenes
Overview of our piece so far:
- First motif (Mental Health) - Ollie walking in, followed by Lewis
- Rob's scene (Terrorism)
- Second motif (Mental Health) - Colours changing
- My scene (Domestic Abuse?)
- Third motif (Mental Health) - Chair puppetry
- Lew's scene (???)
- Fourth motif (Mental Health) - Head movements
Ideas and progress for Rob's scene:
- Definitely wanted him to do a monologue (this idea was inspired by "Eight" by Ella Hickson) - we then thought this could be in the form of a suicide note (as Cornelius did commit suicide)
- We discussed having the rest of us perform the event that he witnessed by using physical theatre - but instantly decided against it, as it would not only be difficult to present effectively but would also be quite disrespectful.
- We have decided that we would like to create a tableaux (of freeze frames) of this event, and perform it whilst Rob is reading out his suicide note.
- I think that Rob could be fiddling with shoe laces at the beginning, and the audience would not know why. However, he would tie them to form a noose by the end of the monologue / suicide note, so the audience then understood it all. The only thing I am unsure about is how to do both ideas at once without the audience not knowing where to look and therefore missing things.
