Session 4

Me and Sky were able to rehears our live art piece today as this was our main rehearsal we were able to get allot done and we both feel confident with the idea of our art piece and happy with the movements we have chosen towards the piece.

Showing the piece to an audience we were as actors and performers able to get an outside perspective of the piece.
What will you do next?
Next we would like to sharpen up the routine and make the moments fluid and make sure we are ready for the show.

What useful advice/suggestions were made?
There were a few comments that ii think were great advice for the show such as it seemed like the piece you could see colors blending together this lead me and sky to suggest wearing different colors to allow the illusion of this.
also we were given the suggestion of not having music but maybe having natural sounds such as waves or wind.  do really think this was a great idea to and we have chosen some music to fit the piece better.

What costume, props do you need to gather/find?
In the performance we have decided to bring in my portable speaker to allow the sounds of the environment we are also thinking of getting different color changing lights to go with the colored costumes.

What are you trying to communicate?
In the piece the main idea is of support through movements t does not  necessarily have to be a relationship it allows the audience to make an interpretation


The Whole group piece 

Letting the actors look at the piece of art before you start trying to make a piece of art is useful as i was able to think of what the painting meant to me and what i believed it meant all while i was doing these other activities it was thinking in the back of my head. 

The idea of experimental i think of trying to show theatre in a way that isn't normally thought of so it is idealistic if we work on task involving that for example pretending you are different elements but not talking but trying to show what element you are through movement instead 
the exercise really made you explore movements as you cant instantly know what an element is going to move like so you have to explore and it may take an actor a while to find their view of the right movements.


A great idea was watching the movements of the plastic bag and getting into small groups to explore the idea of copying an inanimate object   watching this bag drop to the floor and just watching the fall and the unfolding of the bag then putting  our bodies in a way to recreate movements in groups it was weird thinking how the audience could see the work as we were moving in non humanistic ways and trying to give the bodies different textures.i learnt that taking a back look on the work we are doing and viewing it as a audience member can change the way you want to work and piece a bit together when devising.
