In today's lesson the group and I worked on an opening scene. In this scene we wanted to use movement but not make it too similar to our Human Trafficking scene. After all pitching ideas together last lesson we finally started to create and workshop different ideas together in the opening. The first thing we done once the movement piece was made was try it to each song. At first we tried it to The Sound Of Silence- Simon & Garfunkel and we really liked this but I thought it'd be a good idea to try out the 2 songs I had suggested in the earlier lessons. These songs were Take Me To Church-Hozier and I Need- Maverick Sabre. The group and I listened to these two songs and decided that we liked the instrumental to Take Me To Church and we liked the lyrics to I Need. This led to us work shopping the opening with both songs and we finally decided to use I Need by Maverick Sabre which was one of the songs I suggested. Here is how the opening currently looks:
To make things better in this lesson I believe we could've tried something else to open up the piece such as projection or quality dialogue which we could've gradually worked on. This could've left more of an impact on the audience because then they'd know the full meaning of our show before we've started to perform. The reason why this may have not worked though is because as a group we decided to not give anything away to the audience until the end where they'll realise the performance is all about Womens Rights but they'll see that the main character of every scene is a man which shows that men still have more rights than women.
Next lesson I plan on showing Tom his role in the opening as he wasn't in todays lesson and then polishing the opening with him in it.
