Today we recorded the choral piece and some breathing. The words of the choral piece were recorded so it was when it is projected through the speaker, it'll be easier for the audience to hear then if we were speaking it. Also it allows us to concentrate on our movement whilst performing this section. The breathing will be projected behind the audience, this creates atmosphere and a sense of the chorus being everywhere and bigger then it actually is.
Our section of the play is where the people guarding Polynieces unburied body leave, giving Antigone the opportunity to bury him. This is relevant for audiences today because it explores relationships within the working world. One guard is higher up than the other, and the other feels like he has to agree and impress him. It is relevant because even today, people have to impress their bosses and do stuff they don't agree with just to get on the good side of them. It also shows the relationship between siblings, and how Antigone is willing to risk her life for her brother. For people with siblings in the audience, it'll make them think whether they are Antigone or Ismene; whether they are prepared to risk their life to make sure their brothers get equal treatment, or if the fear of death is too strong to take care of their dead sibling.
For the multi media, we have used an alarm and police tape. This will make it look like a modern crime scene, which is relevant for our piece because it makes out that polynicies is bad and it is a crime to try and bury him. Our group aren't incorporating film so I can't answer the next few questions.
NOTES FROM THE SCENES PERFORMED:
GROUP 1: good commitment to the characters
scene was brought into modern day by the language used
antigone and ismene's relationship was clearly presented
GROUP 3: movement was well choreographed and intimate with lloyd and logan's lines
movement was effective and reinforced the story line
GROUP 4: the status difference between Benji and Jake was clearly shows through their voice and
reaction to each other
good use of multimedia by incorporating the news report
GROUP 5: eric and sherene conflicted effectively and their use of volume and tone presented their
feelings towards each other well
GROUP 9: used multimedia by having phoebe and tara shining lights on the boys
the anger between thiago and rory developed throughout the piece and their father and
son relationship fell apart effectively
GROUP 10: multimedia was used by music when the girls walked in
harmony and tasha acted as the conscience and their characterisation was very good
they also used doors, which were slammed when the girls left which surprised and
engaged the audience
