Week 1 (sept 23rd-29th)

Week 1 (stimulus & group)

This is the first week that the class have seen the stimulus witch will help us to produce a show. I had my own responded to the stimulus it made me think of coldness, darkness theses words came from that her hair is getting blown by the wind there for a could Autumn day also that the colour of the clouds helped get this images across to me.

Also beyond a point as if she was so go over it something bad would happen so she would watch from the decent the two different shades in the grass really helped give the imprecation off.

Here is a picture what i have edited to help me to explain what i mean...

also made me think of words such as alone , despite and fear.


when we was put into the groups we put all our ideas down on to paper to help us to develop ideas the group came up with words such as ...

• .hopeless
• .afraid
• .lost
• .mental
• .fire
• .orphan
• .alone 
• .scared

this words help us come up with ideas such as a character going crazy witch was my idea but we need a reason why therefore Connors came up with an idea of a fair then i said maybe her family could of dead in the family therefore she becomes an orphan. so then we took this idea to our feet, by to start acting it we played that she was going mental by her hearing voice in her mind witch we play with by having me, Dan and Brad behind the stage saying how the flames where spreading up her body.we then had Imo sat on the chair then Connor and Alicia acting as the fire by pulling her back and touching her fire and Yaz was directing this to see if it worked or not witch really helped.

As a second idea i came with the idea of her looking back when her family was happy and she would be telling the story and using Frantic Assembly style the character talking to the audience to tell them how she wish it could all go back to normal. This we all though that yet again could be played as she was going mental.

so from a painted that was called Christian's world by Andrew Wyeth what was painted in 1948 the group and i have come along way of the line of the original story and have started going down the idea of mental if it will stay that why we have to wait and see but at the moment it  seems to be working well part from some things that we can a play around with as in idea one maybe have the voice actually in the background acting in pain and help pull her back and maybe with the second idea and rules in it such as when sorted words are mention or a movement is made there has to be a reaction.
