Today we started to work on our last physical theatre piece we wanted for our devised piece. This piece was going to based round the future where school has become like a prison with guards and extreme rules. We planned out what we wanted in the piece, we decided that we would have 2 guards, 4 students and no teachers to emphasis the fact that they care more about the behaviour then learning. We have the students sat in a square with Me and Kyle as the guards walking around them. For this piece we would like me and Kyle dressed in riot gear holding riot shields, we wanted our guards dressed like this because we wanted to emphasis how school feels like a prison in the future. We started to play Pink flyod "Another brick in the wall" and decided to use this number for the piece. We came up with a three warning idea for the piece where if a student does something disruptive they will get a warning, three warnings equal a taze, we decided that Dan would be the student to get tazed so we started the piece and came up with three idea he could do to get in trouble.
1. Passing a note
2. Getting up from his chair
3. Snezing
While Dan slowly gets each one of his strikes we have the other three hesitantly going to do something like take a drink or ask a question but get a look from a guard which makes them go back to work.
Following Dan being tazed we want the students to get up and start interacting with the guards.
This lesson I feel that we managed to come up with a great idea that works well with our piece but i dont feel like we have done the with creating it as i feel what we made would be rather boring to watch for a audience point of view. Next lesson i feel w eithe rneed to figure out a way to make this piece more appealing or try and come up with another idea to show a corpral punishment future.
