J24: Feedback
Todays feedback session returned the following outline:
Scene 1 – Boot Camp by: A.
Takes Aways:
- Ensure Aaron (and teams’) bodily position effectively engage the crowd.
- Ensure ranks are clearly establish via two sets of dialogue: Aaron to Andrew; Aaron to Antonio & Issa.
- When running, mime a circle, a song, exhaustion, etc. (AND – as an extension of #1) keep the audience in mind.
- Andrew must be wearing his jacket.
Transition – Sounds of battle, light down, flickering.
Scene 2 – Death by: I.
- Music?
- Ensure that the quotes used from the poems are spread out. i.e. Antonio will share his quote at the end of Scene 2; Aaron will share his in Scene 3; Andrew will share his in Scene 4.
- Ensure Andrew’s distance is at a maximum from the group.
Transition – Other poems, and Aaron freshens up.
Scene 3 – Funeral by. Aa.
- Use a freeze frame during conflict, instead of moving off stage.
- The funeral scene should have a faster clip than the death scene, when dealing with the jacket. Crisp.
Transition – Light funeral music (perhaps military funeral), and Andrew Monologue
- Light bar music
- Acknowledging the ghost via comedy: empty shot-glass, moved glass, etc.
Scene 4 – Reunion by. A.
Not what I was expecting! however, I can infer that that the workshop process worked well for you in as much as you were able to create this list of take aways rather than incorporating the feedback and listening to the other workshops. 9/10
