This lesson we focused on stylised movement, and we presented our own characters movement sequence for the Britten scenes. As an out of lesson task we had to explore our own characters movement, and then put them along side a Cocorosie song. I chose the song werewolf, this is because it had a slow beat with an underlying faster melody, this meant that I could change my movements dynamics. My movements worked really well with the music, because I payed a lot of attention to the dynamics, and switching from fast to slow, and jumping around in the music, and changing up with beats. I also used points in the music to exaggerate movements, I think having music to work along side with, helps me explore with the dynamics and pace. I think that by combining all of the movements into one sequence, brought more depth to the moves, rather than just having them straight, makes them move of a routine that an audience can look into as much as the want to get an understanding of a character.
Three ideas of possible movements in the Britten scene:
1- my first idea for movement would be on page 61 where the characters start to talk to Lisa about what they have lost, I would have all of the character doing an understated movement sequence, this would be very discreet to the other characters but as the scene is going on each character is explaining their story through their own sequences.
2-another opportunity for movement is when the customers are explaining what Biffer is saying about the Black Dog King. This would be good as on each characters line we can use the movement to describe what they are saying, or even go into each line even deeper
3-for my own characters movement, I will act very on edge to show how he can't be settled in this surrounding. I will do this by using sharp movements, with jarred head movements, and constantly looking around and listening to people's lines.
