Lesson 4

In this lesson we did a rough run through of the piece, to try to work out what order we should put things in and how we can fit every thing we have worked on, together. So far we have got ...

  • The building up of emotion as an ensemble
  • Storytelling, using an object
  • Everyone saying a Tom waits quote 
  • Luther singing 'blue skies' 
  • Edgar and Daisy talking about an object from the perspective of left and right brain 
  • A moment between two characters in the bar (Fifi and Tobi / Olivia and Sam) 


After we did the run through, we discussed as a class the things that needed improving... 
  • sound scape is too loud - storyteller cant be heard 
  • stories need to be more specific - they are too general and cant be acted out 
  • better spacing when people are sitting in the bar
  • the story needs to link to the weather and chemical
  • we need to learn what all the weathers mean 
We have decided to link the object to a weather and link the weather to an emotion. When an object is taken out of the box, Reece will decide what weather that object is. After the storytelling about the object, the whole ensemble will recreate the emotion of the weather, using the exercises we did last week.

  • Snow- exhilaration
  • Sunny- happiness
  • Thunder - anger
  • Rain- sadness 
  • Fog- nervous
