Thursday 22nd Lesson Analysis

In this lesson we focused the lesson around the physical theatre and 'Stylised Pedestrian Movement'. This is where you take everyday actions and change things like pace, repetition and exaggeration to make it into a physical theatre sequence. We began with choosing 3 movements, in our pairs. I was with Henry who is playing the same characters as me, we revolved our movements around the character of the Goat. Our first move was a subtle look up and down. This was to show the Goats creepy character. We then moved on to the next move which was us walking round in a circle, as if Lisa was there. All of these moves made our character come off shifty. Our third move was a sharp point, this was to symbolise blame, of the goat. We then were to add more moves, which explored the similar themes. We then had to change the pace of some the moves. We made sharp changes in our dynamics, changing from soft moves to sharp tense moves, this added an element of surprise. In the background of our pieces the song 'Noah's Ark' by Cocorosie was playing, this has a surreal theme and really fits with the themes within the play. Me and henry picked out some obvious beats in the music, there was a off beat that went quite slow and also a faster beat within the lyrics, we used this to help with our change in the dynamics, flicking from the slow beats to the fast.

To finish off the lesson we had to choose a page from the text to perform, while incorporating some of the moves that we devised in the early part of the lesson.
