At the moment - we are currently working towards our Thames Project, the purpose of this project is giving us the opportunity to write, devise and direct an original piece of theatre, we will be in pairs for this. Not only will we be doing this, but we will also need to act in other peoples pieces for we are not allowed to perform in our own written piece. It is up to us to choose the actors from our class that will showcase our work.
The purpose of this project is to be market purely on our directing, devising and writing skills, we will not be marked on how we act in other peoples pieces.
The Devising Process - so far I am learning how the devising process works, it is very important for each person in the group to have a say about the subject that is being focused on, it is important to be truthful and connect real life experiences that connect with the subject, therefor the piece will be honest and true to the subject. It is vital to keep the subject in mind at all times, for sometimes when people speak about an experience they have been through, it might not always relate to the subject, it's important at this stage to be sensitive towards the person but strong willed to explain that their experience does not relate to the subject. It is important to allow the audience to connect with the piece of theatre, this, we must bare in mind, always ask yourself, what is the message? Is this message being displayed? To research information will also help the piece to be more honest and true.
We must understand during these devising sessions, idea's will be thrown away, not everyone will play the role they want, to be ruthless is to achieve, we must throw away our ego's .
