I like the idea that even when you are doing nothing, you are doing something. It's impossible to do nothing and that is reflected in storytelling: stories are always existing, it's impossible to be otherwise
I realize this was a quick response to the work we did in class. Try to be specific about what you're reacting to. There is analysis here, showing depth, but make sure it's clear what you're referring to, otherwise this turns into a LIST/OUTLINE of ideas.
Today, my group actually made a plan about what we are going to do. We combined my audience interaction, Jenny's school scenario and Eliza's game to come up with a interactive choice making game about school and various situations. The audience chooses the fate of the characters and that leads to a specific ending.
For about half of the class we worked on our starting points and the ideas we got from connecting them. We explained them again to our partners and tried to understand how could we blend them all in just one story. For example, in my group there were the ideas of "breaking free from expectations", "individuals connecting through similar experiences", and something completely different, a "cutthroat kitchen" like scenario. We decided that if we wanted to join all of those we could talk about how different people try to cook together bringing something "about them" into their food, to try and see how it would turn out in the end. Afterwards, we worked on the devising activity "Do Nothing", to which we tried to create small stories from the various poses we created together.
I realize this was a quick response to get down, but try to go a little deeper with explaining your reasoning for the choices you made. (This is OUTLINING.)
Idea: moment when all (or some) main characters are on the bench and are in a pose which represents their character

ReplyDeleteInteresting how even the slightest movements shift the story. Important to think of while devising, trying slight differences could change the story

ReplyDeleteObviously this was a quick response to get it down on paper.
DeleteHowever, take time to develop your responses to the daily work. (This is LISTING.)
Idea: Audience choosing the flow of the storyline, however ending with the same consequence anyways- Big metaphor of fate
ReplyDeleteReality( gloomy, depressed, struggling) VS Fantastical illusion ( ideal,hope, musical ): Show big contrast
throughout the story and characters
