Although we are yet to see a script, we have finally started to move Mirror Mirror. This has been really useful in a number of ways as not only can we actually SEE the piece before us, but we can get an idea of who is to excel in what part, and what our focus part might be.
I think the last scene that we moved was extremely impressive and open to our creativity. The idea of a huge circle yelling and swarming about the main character each in a different and recognisable character is fantastic and very evocative. The costumes, make up, light and sound should play an enormous part in the performance of that particular segment and it should be the basis for the audience to get a REAL idea of the intensity of our show.
There are so many segments and devices apparent in the text that have just so much potential. ANd so many actors within our group, that given the confidence (or just insanity) and the encouragement, can simply shock our moderators. I think if we put just a little bit more enthusiasm into the readings it may provoke our inspiration just that little bit more...
Have a lovely weekend :) xx

Hey Maddy,
Great visual created from the circle. It made me think theatre in the round may be possible and at this point everyone could be on the ground and crawl menacingly towards the girl and then tower over her. And as you said with lights and sound this would look great. Just wanted to document the idea while I had it.
