The Island - Meeting
|
So today I had my first meeting with Mr Hodgson about my IP and we started by discussing what we though the piece was about.
We agreed that even though it was a humorous side, there was a lot of room for an emotional journey that ultimately reveals the trueness behind the character of Ken. the piece starts off with light humour but ends up in really dark humour dressing serious issues. This is going to be fun to explore the different levels of tension within the piece and i think all of the Lecoq stuff were doing is really going to help me with that. We then proceeded to break down the piece into shifts (beats) and decided where all the changes were. I've uploaded a scanned copy of the script with those shifts signified by red lines. <---- <---- <---- After doing so we discussed the use and role of he Doll in the piece and how much work it was going to be to use it effectively. We wanted basically to get the doll as soon as possible so we can start "playing" one of Lecoq's most important ideas about theatre and physicalisation - the chance to play. |
