Individual post by Rochelle - Research and individual homework

Some research we can use of Complicte's theatre piece using Contact that we can use as material for our final scene to help with creating.

Also as we need to organise the order of scenes and create a few more scenes to complete the time limit and ensure the audience understand the trail of 'Sophies' journey. so I found some flashcard things online that are conventions we can use and we are leading towards some stylistic and physical theatre scenes to ensure we have a blur of theatrical styles instead of just naturalism.

This website is my favourite as it has a lot of really interesting conventions and a few that stood out to me and inspired me to come up with a little idea we can add into the waiting room scene or even another scene yet to be created was 'Narration' and 'heightened use of language' 'exaggerated movement'. I don't know why but I got the idea of something quite pantomime-ish. By this I mean using the traditional line of 'NO YOUR NOT' but in a dramatic irony sort of way so maybe her character isn't aware or isn't a part of the enthusiastic over exaggerated movement by the ensemble/surrounding characters.

ALSO MAYBE WE CAN USE SOMETHING WITH MIME?

Also we gave each other a group homework of coming up with the individual lines were going to say in the final scene mine are

"We call her Kevin"
"No, I'm Sophie"
"Sophieeee"
"Press 4 if you've lost the will to live"
"Press 37 if you've misplaced your left shoe"
"Identification not recognised"
"Quick mirror check girls, we wanna make sure we look fittt"
I was thinking all the girls (except britt obvs) can unanimously say "happy birthday sophie" from scene 3 and "Horatio Fraiser *girls giggle*" from scene 4 to convey when she was her previous character.

I have chosen these lines as I believe they are all significant to portray "the change" and bring up sad memories to confuse and frustrate her character and also to enforce the feeling of sympathy in the audience.
