Performance Workshop

We started of by warming up our body, this was so we don't injure ourself during the workshop.

We were then given an object that we had to use our bodies to create. Our group was given an aeroplane, we decided that we would used our bodies to create the shell of the plane rather than being passengers.I think this idea is more challenging and more effective, because it shows the audience that we are thinking outside of the box and using are bodies more effectively. I was the pilot at the front of the plane and the rest of the group made up with wings and the body of the plane.

Our group had to switch with the group of people that where making the field. We had 6 counts to get into there positions. This was so we could practice quick on stage character changes. This helps with my scripted piece as I have to switch characters quickly on stage in the last scene. 

We then started to look at our monologues again. Because had learn my monologue, this allowed me to focus on my timing and projecting my voice, as that was what I was told I had to improve on.

We then developed it and added on a short transitional dance. After our monologue we had to pose in a position as if we were asking someone to dance. We then turn to a parter and for 3 counts do a short dance then on the 4th count drop them on the floor. This idea was taken from a groups scene where there stimuli was Greed. This fits with most peoples monologues because there monologues are all about there hopes and dream and throughout that journey there are always going to be people that knock you down.
