Uncle Terry's thoughts on Christopher

Considering Christopher is my nephew I can's really say anything bad about him, he's family and I will always be here if he needs me but I can't deny he is a bit weird, although he is very smart. Not that I'm blaming Ed for how Christopher is but there is one thing that always puzzled me, Ed used to talk about how Chris would walk off in the night and Ed would be worried sick about where he has gone but surely Ed could of just locked all the doors and hidden the keys, now I know Chris isn't stupid and he might find another way out but at least Ed would stand a chance of stopping him leaving the house at night. Anyway I do like Christopher, his maths skills are very good and he always talks about space so he's an interesting lad, I just wish he would stop worrying about who killed the dog otherwise he will get himself into some sort of trouble.

In Curious incident of the dog in the night time there is a scene where Christopher and his Mum go from outside to in a house and then into a bedroom but because we cant have a lot of set in our production, today we were figuring out how we could make it seem like our bodies were the house and walls and the characters could navigate around us to make it look like they were walking into different rooms so this scene didn't just stay in the centre of the stage and the characters not moving but some how appearing in different rooms.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night- Time

In todays lessons we started on the curious incident of the dog in the night time, we started with some walking around the room, then when we got close to someone we would push away and walk in another direction, we then put this into a sequence of doing this five times then the next five time ducking away whilst repeating a mathematical sentence. This represents the voices inside Christopher's (the main character) mind.
After doing this we then got our scripts and started rehearsing roughly to get a feel of the show and the various characters people will be playing as most people are playing more then one or two parts.
