Interpretation
For our scene we went into depth of how Dina wants to be on
par with the boys, we showed this through a physical theatre sequence, of Dina
breaking away from the scene, and standing in front of everyone else, Dina then
does a phrase of boxing and the other three characters mimic what she does.
This makes it look like she is the best of the game, and all of the men want to
do what she does so they can stand out from the ground. We experimented with pace
of the boxing, by adding slow motion it means that an audience can see every
move that she makes, and that she can perfect her moves in a game.

Response to a practitioner
The practitioner that we looked at are Frantic Assembly, to
get into their way of working we did some warm ups that were fast pace,
energetic and kept you on your toes, this helped us understand the pace of a
physical theatre piece. We also spent time doing some Chair Duets, we started
off with a theme (I.e. relationships and thoughts of some movement phrases then
we played around with pace and fluidity, until they were not so obvious what
the movements were and could be repeated without seeing a break in the
sequence. For our duet, we looked at an argument between friends, and how
things can go too far, until they have had enough and just make up. We showed
this by mainly having pushing and pulling actions, and then having the other
resolves it by picking the other up or placing a chair back for them.
