Rehearsal Notes - Thursday 5th March

Looked at ways of 'flying' - keep thinking about interesting ways of portraying freedom, liberation, dreams etc. Think about use of fabric. Make it look effortless!

 Developed short pair pieces to do with work/restricted situations - moving to freedom - keep developing these so that there is a clear story in what you are doing rather than just lifting/supporting for the sake of it. These were base around ideas of being at work.

 

 Developed sketches/ideas around the following:

 

• Mating Rituals - humans and birds share 'dancing/nightclub' behavior but the rest is alien.
• Royalty - plumage
• Democracy/Politics
• Technology
• Immigration/Migration/Racism/languages  
• Money/Wealth/distribution of resources/Class
• Religion
• Death - rituals - survival of the fittest
• Work/play
• Competition/Sports/Hobbies etc
• House vs Nests - humans build for one another - less freedom
• Crime/punishment
• Pets/Slavery
• Adoption
   

Things that you want to say in your piece.

• What is 'weird/normal'? - Different perspectives
• Humans restrict themselves - Society is flawed - We are not free - Equality?

Other notes

• Everyman for himself
• Survival of the fittest
• Food chain

That is all.
