Week 40

Monday 18th November 2024 We started today off running over anything from Pinocchio that we weren't comfortable with or felt needed work. For me this was the interactions between the Marionettes and Stromboli, as currently I'm finding it quite difficult to navigate when to let the Marionettes drop or when to continue carrying them around the space. Its also about navigating and learning a routine like set of movements when controlling the Marionettes- which is also difficult because when it comes to plotting it out I find myself being unsure on whats the best action plan and what would work best. We then moved onto some Pleasure Island work, and evolving the characters that would be in that scene- just building them up to create an atmosphere that was right for pleasure island. We did this by creating little pockets of potential scenes- starting off with some slow motion developing activities, such as slow motion tag and what it would be like walking through water an...

Week 34

Monday 30th September 2024 We started off today by doing some warm up activities such as mafia boss, and the untangle game- both games that rely on focus and problem solving which lent itself to our next activity were we started building around the concept of concealing secrets, as the iconic villains we are trying to channel have secrets at the centre of their lives. This activity included taking a true story and changing an element of it that was concealed from the audience, they then needed to figure out which part wasn't true and didn't match up. This activity was there to highlight how discreet the secrets can be that are characters will potentially keep, whilst also giving us ideas on how to employment them into the ghost light tour itself. The second part of the session was then spent taking a look into the stage play of the iconic board game "CLUE", getting into groups and putting together a scene from the play itself. The focus from doing this was to ...

Week 41

Monday 25th November 2024 Monday felt like a very productive day, blocking Stromboli's main scene within the show- along with his musical number. This scene is my personal favourite, as we see Stromboli have multiple conversations with himself through his puppets. For me this is a moment within the show where we see clearly the mania that has festered within Stromboli over the years from being a failing puppeteer and the mockery from the town that has come with that. There were a few eliminates to break down when putting this scene on its feet, one of which being the individual puppet voices/characters and making sure that what's being said by them through Stromboli matches the voice and the persona that you give it. When approaching this element to Stromboli I wanted to make it clear that, to him he's having a two way conversation and that the puppets (subconsciously) symbolise different parts of his personality- which is a perspective I've taken on the character. ...
