Devising

In todays lesson we got into small groups and starting working on individual pieces. One group where creating a tap dance another some family moments/still images and more. I was in a group with Tia and Felix were we worked on my wheres my shirt scene. We started off by reading the scene together and having a discussion about what would work and how we could transition between moments. I also gave my ideas about combining a bed moment, a kitchen moment and then the shirt moment. We were in agreeance  that using all three of my ideas would be good. We then got the work on its feet, making still images etc. We used materials we had in the room such as a sleeping bag, at first we were going to do the bed scene on the floor with children waking up and standing but then i thought something more interesting would be to place a bed sheet facing up towards the audience makes a better dynamic and more comical. It created a challenge for us because we had to place the sheet correctly so it didn't look sloppy and looked realistic.


Working with others really helped develop the scene as Felix and Tia brought there own ideas in. It was great to see the piece begin to shape together. We also watched back everyones work which gave me a good insight into what the piece may begin to look like. It was nice to see everyones skills being used from dance to writing to theatre.
