Plot change
Today we had a discussion about our piece with our overall Director present. My group were told that we didn’t necessarily have to have a
script, as it's mainly just improvising around a scene that we have created, and the
speech can vary and change, nothing has to be set in stone other than the plot
and the cue lines. Also, that long speech will get lost as people are not going
to want to stand there and listen for too long as they will just want to play
the game. It was showing, that we were struggling to find ways about our idea as
it was too simplistic and was hard to pull different things from it, so, we
decided as a group to change the plot. Not completely change it, but enough so
that we can have a bit more freedom to devise. So, we are thinking of loosely
having the idea of repopulation attached to it. Our overall Director gave us
the idea of maybe making it quite twisted, for example, maybe even having it as
a twisted/perverted family.
We took this feedback on and decided to make a sort of
adopted family. They are trying to get people to join their very twisted
family, still in keeping with the repopulation, we decided to make it that they
were a repopulation family. There will be one person, who will be me, going out
and enticing people to come in and meet the family members. Elly is my
unbothered cousin who doesn’t really care about this whole situation, if
anything, she was more in to her games that she is playing on her phone rather
than anything else. We thought this would be a really weird character as she is
the normality within the freak show. Lily’s character was just basically a
child almost, and she just does her own thing, like one to ones with the
audience.
Next we will be performing our play to an audience. We are
allowed to use extras so that our performance can come to life. We have chosen
a male and a female character. We had to brief them to tell them exactly what
they will be doing. The female as a Zombie and male as the dominant male
character who will be winding the Zombie up to make the audience scared and
making them all leave at the end by saying something like “Which one's mine?”
and getting really close to the audience and making them feel uncomfortable,
then dismissing them as if they are peasants. The Zombie will just get
progressively more angry and noisy and making the audience feel like they need to
run away.
