Our devising all started with the stimulus "Humanity in crisis" from this my group and I had many ideas, consisting of things such as mental asylums, human trafficking, slavery and children being sent to war.
In the previous few lessons we decided to look at dialogue and how the detail of it can effect performance. The piece of dialogue we created was from an online source, our favourite idea was women's rights. The online source we found for this was "should women be allowed to fight on the front line", ironically the female who's a major in the army was saying that women shouldn't fight on the front line because they're not physically ready for it whereas the man from the source "Michael" was up for having women join him on the front line. During creating the piece for this we made a script and decided to make this the base of our over all devised final performance.
There are 2 main characters a woman and a man called Michael. The first idea I gave was that these two could be in an office throughout our performance and that their discussion is made up from our own knowledge and from the quotes that they've actually said in interviews. Another idea I gave was to use projection and every time a quote is said, we should project the newspaper source we found and highlight the quote which was said and then at the end of the performance flick through every quote quickly using the projections.
The main ideas I gave today was that throughout the script we've currently wrote was to break up each section and once a big part of dialogue is said we have a scene that shows what the 2 people have spoken about. Also there's a certain quote that the lady from the source uses which shows a massive divide between women and man being on the frontline, I said that whilst she's saying this we should link ideas with the true story based film "The Lone Survivor" and show a cross cut of a woman being captured and raped on one side and a man being captured and tortured on the other and how there's a contrast between the physical attributes of men and women as the man will break free and get away and the woman will not be able to get away.
