Devising- Tuesday 22nd September

In today's lesson we had a quick discussion on our school trip and uniform roles for drama then moved on to looking at our ideas and which ones we thought were best. We discussed our idea of the mental hospital and how we could work on this to create a more in depth piece leading towards this then Freya came up with the idea of schizophrenia so we all began looking at ideas that we thought would work for this. I began looking on You tube for ideas on movement piece we could do while the others looked at angles that we could work with this idea. I found a video that I found interesting because of the robotic movements and how sometimes they are in unison then other times they use cannon. These different effects helps to build on the idea of schizophrenia and how sometimes there is someone normal then other times there are multiple personalities doing different things. This could also be used in different pieces depending on what idea we settle with. After we had looked into this as a group we started to discuss what we wanted in our piece We decided that we wanted our audience too be confused and how they would have to solve the problem to understand. We also wanted a fragmented story line like a puzzle with lots of cross cutting.
