J22: Performance Stumble Through, Part 5
Having found some poetry that will guide our asides, and parts of the play – we have completed a number of scenes, chronologically:
Scene 1 – Bootcamp | Scene 2 – Death Of A Friend | Scene 3 – Funeral | Scene 4 – Getting Through The Fire
Our central question revolve is: “How to get through the fire; how to persist when things are hard?”
To note some of the key means from each scene:
Scene 1 – Friendship, Laughter, Camaraderie. # With emphasis on a joy as told by Issa?
Scene 2 – Silence, Reflection, Poetry, Sacrifice. # With emphasis on a poem to Boss, as told by Ant.
Scene 3 – Anger, Alcohol, Supports. #With emphasis on a poem or funeral reflection by Aaron.
Scene 4 – Forgiveness, Reconciliation. #With outro and commentary by Andrew
How did it feel to finally get a feel for the whole play? And I wonder if you’re character could be the one to stand out in either scene 3 or 4? How do you think the way each of the three characters handles the loss is different? And I wonder if the question is something like, “How do we find one another again after handling grief in different ways?” What if Aaron’s character is the one who isn’t able to carry through at the funderal, but your character steps up, even without his leg? 10/10
