Last lesson we started learning a little bit more on contact improvisation, we were put into pairs and had to chose our own stimulus, me and Freya chose to go with children that are friends and then grow up to have some sort of problem or argument. each group did their own piece but it wasn't really contact improvisation as we didn't just create the piece on the spot as we were performing it to the audience, we all got a few minutes to choreograph a little bit before hand. This is because none of us are confident with contact improvisation and if we had to do it properly I think we would all struggle.
We then were given the task of devising a piece based around physical theatre/ contact improvisation from our brainstorm of ideas. Our group chose to do a piece on slavery, we started by having us on a boat and stepping foot onto a new country and then we shower hw badly they were treated for no reason. Today we then completed this piece with the more contact improvisation inspired section which finished the piece off.
The voice section of the lesson was after we performed our physical theatre/ contact improvisation style pieces we were asked to pick another topic on our brainstorms and create a piece revolved around only our voices. We chose to create a sound scape on the Hillsborough disaster. We did this by repeating the same phrase, either screams or cries of help to police telling the crowd to stop pushing forward. We then went into a bit were we each read of a fact about the disaster, and that represented the news reports that came after the disaster.
