We explored Pavel Semchenko in which we had to keep eye contact all the time in pairs we moved around the room using different levels and physicality to fully explore keeping eye contact while on the move. I found this task hard as you had to focus a lot on where your body can go and you can still keep eye contact which confusing your partner.
Laura and I felt that this exercise could be used in our performance so instead of looking at each other we kept full eye contact with the doll we decided to do what we felt suited the situation so we ended up exploring the doll together and imagined that this will be the first toy we have received linking it back to childhood innocence.
We decided to explore how the toy moved again and this time we both moved subtly when the other person moved the toy. Then Marian started to gradually use rigid movements. This emphasised the rigidness and we felt it conveyed our theme clearer. We decided to use slow motion within our piece as we felt this was a great way of physically portraying the link between the home and the trenches.
I thought it would be nice for me to fall into the position of a mother cleaning the floor so we can still relate it to how the rest of the family cope with this ordeal.
We was struggling to come up with ideas on what else could happen Laura then went and did some extra work in which she came up with the idea of saying a monologue and putting physical actions with it this is a simple way of showing deep emotions that a mother would have been dealing with because of the affects the war.
