Devising- Thursday 8th October

Today in the lesson we started to discuss working on the difference between women and wife and this could be shown in a creative way. We decided we were going to do cross cutting but I came up with the idea that we each did a scene one after the other like cross cutting but then moved around the traverse so each member of the audience get to see the scene at a different angle. So we stared looking at the little scenes that we could involve to show differences. We thought the first scene should be each of use going to put a coat on but I put it on my husband and Freya put it on hereself. We then went on to us getting ready to go out where I was sorting out the kids where as Freya was getting herself ready. Then we walk next to each other and I say forgot his wallet and at the same time Freya says forgot my wallet and we swap sides. We then begin walking into someone where im appologetic, Freya is slightly more angry. At the end we then go into a cross cutting scene between us talking to a friend about our life. In this part we needed to make sure we make it more like we are having a conversation with someone then speaking a monologue. I think this idea worked really well but it needs to be smooth and everyone needs to be in the right place at the right time. It also could include more little scenes involved in the cross cut.
