In this weeks session, Solomon was absent so we started with a brief warm up of 'wink murder'. We quickly discarded this idea as it was not 'warming us up'. We then turned to an idea of a relaxation exercise which some of us (including myself) did not take part of, as i wanted to use the time to devise and create not to get even more sleepy than i already was.
We decided to create a devised piece of work 5 minutes in length exploring ideas of movement by starting with a monkey walk. After doing the monkey walk for a few minutes we all had our own unique approach and energy level, we used this to develop characters by expanding on the idea/exercise.We also tried to work on the opposites of inner/outer energy/meaning but we briefly ran into a wall, when one functions according to ones ideas or principles he/she is usually set there until shown differently, usually by an external source. Therefore, we came to the summary, that it is hard to determine inner and exterior, because in almost all cases inner is designed by exterior, e.g. personal ethical principles of the individual designed by the social atmosphere he/she is in.
The roles that we came up with were influenced by heirachy and status as well as energy, we used the buto nmovements from the previous week to come up with inique postures, we had:
2 buddahs/buddhists - neutral status, the unifyer of the other characters.
King - high status, the ruler.
Kings Wife/ Queen - Medium status, the obsessive carer.
The Servant- low status, the bottom dweller.
