Today we were instructed to crate a new piecec of theatre around whatever we wanted to create within humaity in crisis that was different to our currant idea we had for our whole piece. We talked and decided that we wanted to do a physical theatre piece on the ideas of drug abuse. We agreed that I would be the drug user and Meg would be my dealer, the piece starts with us all in the club having Dan M, Carl, Kyle and Toby repeating the same dance moves in the club while Meg approach me and offer me the drug. I hold the drug in my hand while the others travel around me trying to make me take the drug and are pulling the pill towards my mouth. After i take the pill they all circle me and start to push me around slowly growing more franticly as they push faster around the circle till i fall forward. Meg and Toby then pull me up from the ground, Carl hides behind me as Meg and Toby pull on our arm giving it the illution that they have pulled me into two people, me and Carl. Carl is a reprentation of me in the real world suffering while i am my real mind trying to reach for Carl to help him. everyone else forms a wall around Carl seperating me from him as i try to break through the wall. In the wall they throw me back then sit in a circle of 6 six chairs with Carl, Meg comes over and leads me into the centre of the circle. I stand in the centre of the circle as if it is a cage containing me while te others sit on the outside performing a hand routine:
Clap, Scratch, Click
Breath x2, Scream, Clap x2
Puff x2, Breath through teeth,
Stamp, Slap thigh
This is repeted 3 times until I brake out of the centre and Carl collapse down as i try to wake him up. Meg pulls me away as Dan M and Toby as paremedic's who try to save Carl/ the representation of my body but fail as Carl dies. They all back away from Carl, turn towards me and stair at me in disguss to show that my stupid actions have killed myself.
