Today, we worked on our contact improvisation pieces again. This meant us getting into out groups and finishing off the pieces we had already started. We ran through what we had already created. Polishing bits as we went before devising one final piece that showed our contact improvisation. Our video is below.
revolutionarts2016: Contact Improv Group 1
Our next task, was to move away from the physical side of theatre and create a piece using only voice itself. After going back to the drawing board. We decided to base our piece around Hillsborough disaster as we thought it gave us a good basis for a vocal performance. In addition, we also decided that it would be better if performed in the dark, so we could scatter everyone around the room showing the range of people effected and making the audience feel as if we were closing in on them.
Next, we had to decide what people were saying. We had six people in the group so had to think of six lines that would fit with our subject. We thought that saying each line in cannon would work well before building it up to everyone shouting their lines in desperation. At the same time we stamped our feet to represent the stampede before we fell silent on a scream. The next part involved us researching facts about the disaster and in a monotone voice, tell our fact.
I think it worked nicely for a soundscape and is a nice idea for what we could potentially use, in terms of using our voice to create a scene.
