Devising- Tuesday 24th November

In todays lesson we started by watch the Video of Emily Davidson when she got hit by the horse to get to grips with what happened on the day she died.

Once we had done this we decided that to recreate this we needed to do a series of lifts so we began improvising and decided we were going to do a crusurfix kind of lift where I was risen up and down. When I was lowered to the ground I tried to run however they grabbed me and pulled me back swinging me back and forth. When I was put down they then shot me into the air straight as if im rising into heaven then im slowly lower to the floor and left to rest. I like how each of the lifts we used symbolised something and had a meaning. 
Once we had done this we needed to create the horse so decided to do this in the style of war house so we watched a video of how it was created.

Looking at this we tried to recreate 2 horses as Emily Davidson was hit by more then one horse and it was hard to create on horse as there was so many legs. We made sure the legs where looking like a horse and they had a clear rhythm. We then added this in before the lifts and this happens by them charging with the commentary over the top then the horses engulf me and lift.
In this lesson at the end I was dropped due to one of the lifts going wrong causing me to fall onto my head. This was due to people miss counting and causing others to let go at different times. This needed to be avoided at all cost so we now need to work on building trust again in our next lesson.
