Devising- Tuesday 17th November

In today's lesson we managed to get a lots done by splitting into 2 groups within our group to get on with different things, We started the lesson by discussing how we were going to open the performance to allow people to understand what was going on and we spoke about what we should wear to help identify each character so we suggested that each main character should have a watch as there is a lot of change in time but i said this may not be obvious to the audience that this is being used to symbolis something. I then suggested that maybe insted of this we should protect a clock on the floor to show the time that has past then it was suggested that someone turns there watch to the time change. We also spoke about the suffragette movement and how we could look at it so we looked at the video and decided that it should be on a projection on the floor.
Tom then began working on the monologue for the suffragettes as we wanted this to be a quality diolouge piece. He did this by using research he had found before. We then decided to look at doing an opening movement piece. We looked at many different song and one suggested was 'take me to church' and 'the sound of silence' however we settled it 'I need' by Maverick Sabre as it fitted better with what we were doing. For this we wanted to make sure that the women were made to be worthless and alone so we added this to our scene. For the next lesson we wanted to make sure that we could finish our movement piece.
What I liked most about what we did today was how each other our movements were fluid and had meaning behind them making them direct to the theme.
