Devising- Thursday 1st October

Today in the lesson we decided we were going to work on the boardroom scene again but look at the staging in which we wanted to use. We decided that today we were gonna start of by doing it in the round with us sitting within the audience. We staged it so mine and Toms sets were on opposite sides due to us 2 being the ones having the debate and everyone else filling in the gaps between. Theo then had his idea for the movement piece which was to include showing what was being said in a violent but stylised way. However this is what we struggled to do in the round as stage combat it very hard as you are being watch from all angles. This made it hard for us as this is what we wanted to do for our monologue movement piece so it made it hard to create the piece we wanted too.  We also didn't like how the round had backs to some parts of the audience all the time which may make the audience feel excluded from the piece and not feel as connected with the character which we need if we aim for the serious piece that we were looking to do. However the round would work better with a comedy as you don't need to connect as much.
