Devising Stimuli- Physical Theatre

 

During this lesson, we explored a few visual stimuli as a class collective and each individually came up with a few connections on how we would describe the image. Once we had focused on this for a little bit, we then decided what stimulus was the one we preferred to work one; without overthinking how we would incorporate it into a piece, purely based off our initiative and the one we had the most describing words for. From this we then ended up in our groups, mine consisting of myself, Robyn, Zack & Raven. Personally I found it really stimulating to devise a piece with people I don’t very often work with as this meant new ideas from each of us and help one another develop these ideas further. In our scene, we started with this fluidity or working in unison however we then switched the transition to cannon so we went done one after the other- linking back to the stimulus. We also incorporated a flashback to a previous point in time to create this contrast on how insignificant the things that mattered a few hours ago we’re completely irrelevant now. I think as a group we all worked strongly together as there wasn’t too much of something different going on but there was enough layering.
