Daniel practical
On the 17th, 18th and 19th September I was absent from college as I was sick so was unable to be a part of the practical lessons with Daniel. Due to my absence my fellow class mates shared with me what they did on each oh the days that I was off to give me an insight into what I was doing and shared the videos with me to show me what they had done during the sessions.
The stimulus of the sessions were from newspaper articles and the class explored how using Steven Berkoff's techniques such as grotesque could make a performance more dynamic and interesting.
On the 17th of September the class done a piece based on the article 'One punch' based on a man who got killed by just one punch and what the class done was they based a scene around that article of the family of the man being in the hospital and being told that the man (their relative) had been killed. Instead of making the scene sad and emotional which is the typical way that a scene like this would be performed, the class decided to make it more grotesque and comedic by making the scene funny in the least harsh way that they could to make the scene differ to how others would probably interpret this specific article as a stimulus.
On the 18th of September the piece that the class performed was more serious than the previous performance. First the class started by picking words from the article and showing the words and NOT the story in the article.
Below is the video from the class's practical on Friday:

You could add to this by looking at the video footage of the pieces we created and evaluating/analysing them.
