Single Performing Arts Lesson (2nd February 2016)

We began today's lesson by looking back over the scenes we had and what new scene we wanted to work on.
So far our scenes include:
                                        Intercourse scene
                                        Party scene
                                        Pregnancy Confession scene
                                        Game Show scene
                                        Abortion Clinic scene
                                        Future scene (what would have happened if the child was/wasn't aborted)

So far for our scene we have completed our 'Intercourse scene' and our 'Pregnancy Confession scene'. We have started but haven't completed our 'Game Show scene' and our 'Abortion Clinic scene', and we are yet to begin devising our 'Party scene' and our 'Future scene'.

We began discussing staging. Lorna suggested a few, such as proscenium arch and thrust. However we decided we wanted to be different, therefore we decided to go for our own type of staging. We decided we wanted the audience positioned as if they were in a clinic waiting room. We decided against proscenium arch as we wanted a more unusual and more complicated type of staging, as the topics in our performance are complicated and challenging. However we also discussed using a traverse style of staging as well. However we decided against it, as it wouldn't work for our dance scenes (Love Making) as we would like people to see it from mainly the front.
