This terms project is World War One this will not only help my development of emotional acting but it will improve my knowledge of WW1 making the peice I end up performing as believable as possible .Going back to theatre was strange, as we had had a long break but we soon got back into the rhythm of things, for the first lesson back we started by looking at our criteria for this term and then we got started with doing some physical theatre which might be put in WW1 piece.
We got into groups of three and where told to make a line then imagine we where in a queue each persons aim was to be at the front but the only way you could do that was moving around or through the person in front of you. This was a peice of theatre inspired by Frantic assembly.
I was surprised how many ways you could get around, over, under and through a person and creative we could be, this peice of theatre was very much based on physical theatre and got us to use our body's to create dynamic movement.
In my group we tried to include lots of different movements making each move different to the other, we created moves that where relevant to the brief so if someone went over someone else, the move would be dropping something on the floor, bending down to get it and then the other person stepping over them (taking every opportunity they could to get to the front of the queue).
