Fourth Lesson

In this lesson we immediatly split into groups and decided that we would have something to show at the end.
In my group we started off by disscussing how we could start our drama. We had the idea that we could all be walking through a corridor and the victim could just hear insulting words out of conversations. We would achieve this by everyone mumbling then at different intervals yelling words like Freak and Slut at the victim. One of the bully's would then push the victim forward so that she was the centre of attention. We then decided that we should go into a vocal collage here as it shows that it's all in her head and the odd comments aren't real. Everone was saying phrases like 'What's wrong with my clothes?' and 'What have I done wrong?' We then stopped the piece by teh victim yelling STOP! and sinking to the ground.
After we had decided on the drama we wanted to add music. We wanted to have whispering in the background of the corridor start but decided that a song would work better. Possible songs that we considered were
  • You could be happy by Snow Patrol
  • Eet by Regina Spektor
  • Summer in the city by Regina Spektor
  • Samson by Regina Spektor

We decided to use Samson By Regina Spektor as it was affective with the piece and gave it a sad atmosphere.

We performed our piece to the class and got some feedback. Here is some notes:

  • The corridor needs to be clearer
  • The song really works
  • Great Climax

We also watched group one perform and gave feedback:

  • Needed to make the bus stop clearer
  • Make couple clearer
  • More insults

At the end of the lesson we all decided to have an after school rehearsal in order to fit the whole piece together. The date that we decided was Tuesday 23rd November.
