Ten's Devised Project... The Vision:

This piece of theatre is a modern visual piece, focusing mainly on one man who is trying to perfect his masterpiece.
It will be set in a dark space which has no specific setting, it just is, A Space Of Life...

All the scenes will be a flow, there will be no set changes and the man will be on stage at all times.

Scene 1:

Imagine a dark space, centre stage there will be a man that's working on his masterpiece which will be a long plat hanging from the ceiling or somewhere high. The man attempts to climb the Platt, but see's a fault, so he comes down to perfect his masterpiece. During this whole play the man does not break the fourth wall at all.
Through this process there will be images to enhance the development of the man's masterpiece, these images will be done through using projection.

Scene 2:

Three other people (girls) come on stage holding their own 'plat' which is the size of a 30cm ruler, they come on directly breaking the fourth wall portraying how proud they are and how they are ready to show the audience they’re plat.
They notice the big plat centre stage and slowly get drawn towards it.
Through this will be an ensemble dance/movement that connects the girls with the man and his masterpiece. The dance will almost be like a chanting tribal religious dance.
They push him towards climbing the Platt, as he begins to climb there is a positive energy, until the man spots a fault in the Platt... He slowly climbs down and continues his work, slowly the dancers fade away with sadness in their eyes.
However, as they move away, one of the dancers stays and watches him and the Platt intensely.

Scene 3:


A love story begins through dance and a connection of positive, pure energy. The man is ready to climb again, and so she pushes him to climb, and as he nearly gets to the top, (this will be the climax of the play), he see's a fault and climbs down again slowly.
He continues his work without any eye contact, solely focusing on his Platt...
The girl slowly fades away into the background walking backwards facing him in sadness.
He does not appear to see anything- only his Platt.

The lights fade as he continues to try and perfect his masterpiece, almost like a mad professor.

Through each scene there will be a change of mood used through lighting.
Scene 1, will mostly be soft lighting, just enough to enhance the man and his plat.

Scene 2, will be a more dramatic light, with maybe some sort of strobe lighting effects.

Scene 3, will be romantic, vibrant lights, that resemble love.
Towards the end of the play will be dark moody lighting to resemble sadness.

Throughout this play, there will be music that will compliment each scene and message.
This piece will have a magical, mystical feel to it; the girls will have with interesting mythical like creature costumes and strong make up.
