4 January 2017- Monday, hour lesson
Today in drama we experimented with creating puppets that could possibly represent Antigone's brothers in a movement or something of that sort. Mr. Chipp gave us the task of creating people out of tattered clothes and pieces of plastic, that we could manipulate to perhaps, act out bits of this play. It's uncertain yet where we would put these puppets but it's certainly something to think about.
I personally think that puppeteering would be an excellent addition to our play. I'm not sure about physically building the characters of Eteocles and Policies and whether that would be too cheesy. However, if they were generic characters, such as just people in the army then I think it could work.
We looked at a few examples of what we could do with just clothes on YouTube that I really liked and think that we could elaborate on and make more harsh to look like two people were fighting rather than falling in love. The thing that I enjoy about these videos is that a) it doesn't take more that one person to create the image -therefore creating a sense of loneliness, but also, makes it loads easier to carry out, and b) it's purely physical and all about that person's body language.
Check out this video we looked at with Tape Face, a silent comedian, who used a only jacket to create the sense that he was with a woman (go to about 4mins:11s to see what we looked at):
