Diary: Day 16 - 22/05/13

When we arrived today, we were set on creating the first scene with all of us in it. In the end we decided a brilliant idea would be to create a soundscape in the church. This would be extremely effective due to the sound echoing around the church. We then talked a little more and said that it would be a good idea to start to converge into the middle of the church to finish off the soundscape – to represent all of us starting to know each other better and work together. We then came up with the idea to build a barricade of sorts to show that the rioters are trying to get into the church, but we were unsure of how to show this. After a quick discussion, we liked the idea of having Millie sing a peaceful song, while we rush around collecting things for the barricade – showing the difference in personalities between us. When she finishes, ‘Angry Dance’ from Billy Elliot would start to play and we would frantically start to throw things to each other to build the barricade. There is a pause in the music and Millie would join in. We started to choreograph creating the barricade by using chairs in the classroom – this was good as we could start practicing putting it all together and try out different ideas for a stylistic way of creating the barricade. Next lesson we will finish choreographing this and hopefully move onto finishing the performance. This lesson was extremely useful as we finished forming the idea for a scene with all of us in and started to put it together.
