Boiler Suits anyone?

This week (8th - 12th October) was a very short week due to us losing our double-lesson on tuesday.

As we are starting our Artaud piece, on Monday (8th) we all got up and started to block out the script however this was interrupted as we felt that we needed to build on some areas. Primarily for half of the lesson we discussed make-up and how it could be used for each character as we are all portraying a separate emotions (Fear, Anger and Depression). For instance Anger would maybe have scratches and some red make-up whereas Depression would maybe have some blue tint to it as blue is often associated with sadness  The hardest was for fear as it is hard to be able to portray this with make-up however there are some ideas at the moment. Costume and projection were discussed slightly, as we decided that we should all wear the same costume so it shows that we are all part of the same person rather than looking like 3 separate actors on stage. We want a sort of symbiosis between the emotions within the piece which hopefully we shall achieve.

Throughout the week we have all been working on our First Draft Research Investigations which was rendering our progression of the piece to a halt so not much has been done in terms of research over this week as we have all been making sure everything is as good as it can be for our First Draft Research Investigations which we handed in on Thursday!!!!!! Only redrafting left to do...O_O

Thursday was definitely a strange lesson. Primarily because I had no group for a good 45 minutes which rendering me completely useless. Georgia was off doing her oral and Maria was busy. Taking initiative I asked Mr. Fearnehough for the key to the "costume" cupboard and started to disassemble it to find anything that could be use for our Artaud piece. I found lab coats  a dead body representation, a large torch, wires and rope, elastic, bandages and some bad ass Boiler Suits which all could be extremely useful for our piece. After a while Maria turned up and add a great idea to what we could do with the wires. The idea was that we could hang the "dead body" by them from the ceiling so it looked as if this "person" had hanged themselves . As with Bloody mIST we are beginning to record our rehearsals so we can go back and look over what we have achieved. With around 15 minutes to go Maria had to go but luckily Georgia was back and so we began to spilt lines up between the characters and blocking some movements which seemed promising.

That's it for this very short week! Peace out!
