Lesson

In todays lesson Parice and I got to work together creating a duet based on the text "Have You Made Any Plans" we both tried to be as un literal as possible and would constantly run away and then come back when we had new ideas we wanted too try. I found it easy to work with her because we have been close for the last 3 years so I didn't feel any type of way towards being open and trying to connect with her. We also came up with some new ideas for the class to do, I suggested that when we all get to the back wall that we run forward screaming "I'm Charging Towards My DEATH" at the audience almost while we restrain each other at the end, as if stopping each other from falling. This was really intense and looked really effective, so Vicky put it in the piece.

Also we worked on restraining and breaking away from each other, which help build up resistance and anger, trying to drag your partner from the other side of the room whilst they kicked and screamed resisting. This was really hard and fun as I had never done anything like it. Carrying on from this after exiting the room for a break Natalie was the last person to come back in the room and Vicky told us all to stare at her uncomfortably, and it was really hard to keep a straight face and be serious but after awhile I could feel the tension in the room and it became easier, Vicky then said "Get her out" and we all had to restrain her and kick her out of the room, and she didn't know why or what was going on which made me feel so bad but I had to stay in character.
