This was discussed on Friday, but for the benefit of those of you who were away:
I will be at a conference on Tuesday so will be trusting you to work on your own on Tuesday. I'm concerned that we do not have enough 'content' material to choose from at this stage and so ask that you concentrate on this, rather than the 'form' or method of conveying/ presenting the content. To this end, can you write up any 'stories' you have linking the characters (or new characters) and bring them to them table. In groups can you develop these stories into 'beats' or 'scenes',e.g.
Scene 1 Doris meets Steve,
Scene 2 Steve gets run down by a bus,
Scene 3 Doris Identifies Steve's body in the morgue.
Scene 4 Doris dreams of Steve's corpse.
Scene 5. Doris can't concentrate at work, keeps thinking of corpse.
Scene 6. Doris breaks into morgue and is caught fiddling with Steve's body.
Obviously, your versions will be a bit more detailed than this, but you should be able to break your detailed step outline into simple beats like above.
Once you feel you have come up with some interesting stories, which explore the concept of forensics have a sharing session and discuss which stories have the best legs - I will hear you favourites on Wednesday morning/ Afternoon.
Please, please, please resist grand ideas of presenting these stories to the audience at this stage.
Keep working at the vocal stuff, hakka warm-ups and any student led sessions. SHIKA - do you want to develop or consolodate any of the work that's emerged from your sessions?
