End of semester one


At end of the semester, on the 9th of December, the group performed the material we had learnt to an audience. We followed the score that we had devised and used props such as masks, playing cards and chairs. The performance space was well designed for an audience  because it had seating available. The performance started with pulse work and gradually went into gesture work. I worked in trio with Heather and Lindsey and devised gestures such as rose, lady and music. The idea came from the Tudor courts in England. The three of us wore cat masks which influenced are characterisation and movements which became feline. Even though not all the scenes worked in the way we had intended, for example in 'Gilom Gilom', but everyone supported each other in their roles and allowed for the named actors to perform their roles to the maximum. Energy and support are the main roles of the ensemble.
