In Tuesdays lesson we focused on the final scene for our piece and came up with a scene using a complicite and stylistic theatrical styles.

We used contact using our hands continuously to show how the character of Sophie morphing into "Horatio Fraiser" body and mind was boxed and trapped. showing this through creating a pathway using our full bodies as gateways and moving as an ensemble to block Brittany's character from reaching her goal. we used Objectives and Intentions to portray this - Brittany's objective was to find a way out of the maze and our intention was to ensure she didn't find a way out. Relating this to previous initial material 'the trial'; we used the quotations "there is no door and no entrance" and repeated it every time we blocked her character.

Intention to audience was for them to feel empathy for Brittany's Character - to show this we used a canon. Taking lines from the rest of our scenes that show her change and discomfort throughout and speeding up the pace as they get more personal. for example in the waiting room scene my character says "the corridor you want is that way" "Ohh we call her Kevin" these quotes convey my character of the receptionist stating Horatio's change being apparent to the other characters in the scene. these quotations give discomfort to 'Horatio'. Alongside these words we added patronising tones and repetition of "Sophie" "Horatio" "Who am I" "the world is growing darker" etc. All lines from scenes that cause stress to Britt's character.
