Hooray for Physical Theatre!!
We have been working on the idea of expressing our emotions and our intentions through physicality rather than speech. The mirroring game (ahh what theme/ title allusion) puppet games, impro to music, physical movement in small groups and mime where activities brought up on wednesday. - This was to introduce the physical nature of 'Mirror Mirror' to the group and convince us just HOW MUCH we will need to express with our bodies.
I THINK THIS IS FANTASTIC!!
I have a background of dance which makes physical theatre seem all the more inviting. That is dance- expression emotion, intentions and themes through your body and making it effective all at the same time. We try to introduce technique and style- which will hopefully bring about a certain mood or tone in the audience. WE NEED ATMOSTPHERE!
The activities of wednesday were very encouraging and inspiring to me as not only could we test out our comfort in ourselves, but we were able to see just how each other moves. i hope our comfort both within ourselves and the group will dramatically increase over time. And I aim to achieve a loevel of comfort equal to that of the year 12's warming up for 'Alice' last year. They were free :)
May i say again bow excited I am about Mirror Mirror and the potential it has. hopefully we will work out backstage quickly and start working on set and costume... maybe together? will this work though? hmmm
Well, I think tis enough. Get physical.. especially YOU Kyle :)
