accusation movement
Today we created two pieces of movement to add to our piece between Scene 1 and 2 and between Scene 3 and 4.

For our first movement piece, we wanted to fully portray the girls' newfound power to manipulate the minds of the higher officials due to their lies. This would go from one person being accused to the whole town being "prisoners" of the girls' judgement. We also highlight the affair between Proctor and Abigail at the end before heading into Scene 2. We used a lantern to represent innocence, to show the audience their is no evil deed implied by those accused but the girl's judgement which gets them imprisoned. Below is a video of this movement piece:
In our next movement piece, we wanted to show the opposite effect of the previous movement by starting in our previous end positions and showing Proctor cut off all ties to Abigail. This is followed by Abigail encountering villagers and they want nothing to do with her as they have all eventually caught on to her lie. We reprise our same characters too to make it more familiar with the audience. We end it by physically representing a house and Abigail stealing her uncle, Parris', money and fleeing with Mary Warren who try to persuades her to stay but ends up leaving with her. Below is a video of this movement piece:
