Devising double lesson

In our double lesson we mainly just devised for our exam. However in the first hour we did some physical theatre work, which was demonstrated at the Frantic Assembly, which I didn't go to so it was good to get some ideas. We were divided into two groups and the chair were arranged like this:

I started off in the chair labelled X. We then decided our theme would be a children's playground, so moved to different chairs and acted like children. As we moved from chair to chair we made some sort of contact with at least one other person. On the first moved I contacted another player by high-fiving each other and basically acting like a child. I then just barged through the others.

For the rest of the double lesson we devised for our exam. Everything was going extremely well, we had three scenes that lasted nearly ten minutes that just needed polishing. However, after school that day me and Kayleigh (the other member of the group) stayed after school to practice but Tom was getting stressed because non of his group was turning up to rehearse. Miss suggested that Tom could join our group, and we obviously accepted it because it wasn't fair for him. We have managed to add him into our first scene we just have to think about him in the other scenes and what brechtian techniques and political meaning behind it.

Multi-Rolling

In this lesson we did multi-rolling. This lesson was really helpful for me and Kayleigh because we are doing Bretch and one techniques of Bretch is multi-rolling. We got into groups and pretended that we were old people and we each had to come up with our own ideas and we had to transition into the others. These three characters each had to sound different and physically look different maybe in terms of levels, postures or gestures. Our first one we did a British woman saying "It's a bit chilly outside isn't it.", then we transitioned into a man with a walking stick that was hunched over so this was lower which saying  "Awwww my back" and lastly we transitioned into the last one which was a northern woman sitting on a mobility scooter and saying "Don't hurry me this machine won't go any faster." This has really helped me understand what to do for when we devise and create our exam piece.
