In our lesson this week, we ran what we did last lesson, with our 5 moves and really cleaned them to make them flow nicely and look good. We then worked out how to bring on and take off our chairs in an appropriate way. So I walk on with Cameron and at first I am scared, hiding behind my chair and to take them off, we were able to make the movement of our hands moving towards each other, into a turn, which made it possible for us to turn and carry each others chairs off. I carry the chair off looking brave and ready to begin my training.
We then got into groups with the people we finished sitting next to, so I was with Sacha and Tuwaine. We had to devise a comedic section of contact improvisation and develop this to become a scene that is set in a bar and shows our last night of freedom.
We started off with me walking into the bar and both of them wanting to be with me, until Jack came over and said we should just stay as men, so we then devised a piece, which Jack helped us with, where T and Sacha are taking shots and I'm trying to get through to the bar by going around them, standing on their knees, going under their legs and jumping. Eventually, I get through and they let me have a shot with them. Sacha then falls to the ground, we help him up and then all of us fall to the ground.
We wanted to make it quite comedic, as Jack has said that the rest of the performance will be emotional and sad and have a lot of emotion in it.
