First part of devising and performance

We started by focusing on the opening scene, which is when the audience comes in and how we are going to get their attention. So me and Nathan haven't been in a scene yet but we helped create the scene for Danni and Amber to do. We kind of threw them straight into it with giving them a little overview of what we want them to do. We decided on Danni playing the officer and Amber playing the quarantine officer (CDC).

It was hard at first because they wasn't coming across that intimidating. We kept giving them examples, I personally think one found it easier then the other but we'll get through that. We tried to switch roles with me and Nathan playing there part so we could show them more of how intimidating we wanted them to be which slightly helped. We also performed it to the class today, Ella liked it but told us to change just a few little things, such as:

  • Danni cannot mention the players 'have you been on a night out?' (it's obvious they have)
  • Amber needs to be more intimidating
  • Needs to be more clearer (messy at the moment)
  • Possibly change the set up
  • Move through it quickly and always keep control of the audience so they do not leave
