Devising- Frantic assembly

As we were going to look at movement in our next lesson I decided to look up frantic assembly whose unique physical style combines movement, design, music and text. This gave me inspiration for creating a good movement piece. In the piece i looked at by them they are very contemporary and use so many different elements to make their performance meaningful. This included contact improvisation, unison, canon and lifts to make it interesting to watch but show meanings. One bit I liked was when someone had died and they showed the persons spirit pass through them by rippling their body in unison. This helped to show how the lose effected them all without them speaking. They helped me to understand how using physical elements can show the audience what they need to know without speaking and this could be more visually appealing and people may want to watch this more then a long performance with just hard hitting dialogue especially if the subject is very emotive. This is why movement would be good to use in our devising piece as humanity in crisis can be emotional depending on the view point so this could cause a break for the audience.
