Today, we started our work on the script of 1984.
We started by quickly showing Charlie and Hope the prologue and catching them up with what they missed from last lesson. We then started performing the opening of the script.
Whilst Lorna reads her opening section, we all walk in unison to form a semi circle around the staging. This portrays the omniscient government of 1984; always watching the public and having total knowledge of their goings on.
When Father (James), Mother (Lorna), Child (Ollie M) and Man (Me) get involved, we added some round-by-through as famously used by Frantic Assembly. This shows the interconnection of the community of 1984.
We have chairs aligned on the sides of the staging ready for us to sit on when there are scenes between only a few characters to represent how the government are overwatching the public constantly.
Next lesson, we will continue going through the script and blocking more.
