Daniel practical

For our practical with Daniel we used a poem/script as our stimulus and in groups of three we picked a specific part of the poem/script that stood out to us and that we found interesting as a small group and this is what our performances would be based on.
Once we had picked out the specific part that we wanted we then picked out the key words from our part which stood out to us in order to really interpret them into our piece to make sure we had a strong piece to perform when our time was up.
In our small groups of three we spoke through our ideas on how to make the small piece of poem/script into a good physical theatre performance. We had a discussion and done brainstorms and then experimented to try out of our ideas and to try and find a good contrast. During this stage I think I was a big contributor to putting things down to help with our ideas of the piece that we would create and I believe that some of the good ideas that were given I had a large contribution to.
Once we had brainstormed and experimented slightly on what we wanted to do in our groups of three we made a physical theatre piece based on our stimuli; using echo effect, levels, walking in different directions and whispering.
Once everyone's piece's were completed we watched each other's performances and gave feedback about the good things each of the groups had done based on their small piece of the poem/script.

Below is a preview of the script that we read in order to do our practical:
