As my group and I were not rehearsing on Friday because we were still thinking of idea, we didn't take any pictures. But then we came up with a few ideas for our performance.
-One of the ideas being that Izzy was walking up and down beside The Berlin Wall. Then Georgina and myself ask her what she is doing, before long somehow Izzy manages to talk Georgina and me into giving her a boost so she can get over the wall, to be with her family. However, when she gets to the top of the wall, someone shoots her-(Harry, who plays Izzy's brother), as he pulls the trigger, he then recognises Izzy and has a flash back, before the wall was built- before they got split apart.
1) How did you come up that idea?
We came up with this idea by using some of our research we looked up. We thought of setting it all about The Berlin Wall, as the song we were given ("Heroes" by David Bowie) was written in Berlin in 1977. Overall, the song is about love, about two lovers, but instead of having two intimate lovers in our piece, my group and I decided to change the lovers into a brother and sister. We did this because then they have a longer history with each other, and they share the same DNA, so therefore when Harry shoots Izzy it will have more of a harder impact on the audience. Because it would be hard enough for any sane man to shoot someone, then for that someone to be a relative... It should be impossible to shoot them.
2) How does it link back to your song?
Our performance isn't completely based on our song. What we've done is find out some background information about the song (aka, where it was set, when it was set, who was it about, where was it written etc).
Anyway, our performance links back to the song with where the song was written-(Berlin) and when it was written-(1977).
With the information we thought would come in handy, we managed to come up with a very stable plot for our performance.
3) What is the next thing you want to work on next?
The next thing I would like to work next is choreograph each of the scenes and sort out who's going where at what exact time. Also, I would like to work on the group's dialogue because none of us know what to say ever.
