Single - Contemporary Theatre Unit (FSN) - Blog 11 - 13/10/15

Today in Single, we started with a devising activity! We put into groups with people our characters would usually interact with (Mary, Herod & Narrator / Ass, Frankensense, Shepherd / Gabriel, Angel, Wise Gold / Innkeeper, Star). In theses groups we were told to create a scene which isn't in the play. This could be something unrelated to the events in the play or something regarding events detailed.

James and I decided that we would do the scene where Innkeeper steals Star's tooth. This is an event only briefly mentioned in the play but we've elaborated on this and focused on the statuses of our characters at that point in time. For example, although that the Star is generally a weak character and is very submissive to the Innkeeper but as this scene follows the song, "Don't Grow Up Like Your Dad," a song about Star asserting dominance, we've made Star more assertive that usual as he's had a sudden boost of confidence.

The video of this performance is below:
