On the lesson on Thursday 12th March we finally began physicalising the Cagebirds script. We got up and we began to tweak and modify our movements to suit the characters we are playing. We have decided to use sheets and pillows, to use as props as to fit in with the orphanage setting. We have decided to use the props differently for each character (for example: Gloom hides under a blanket to create darkness, Gazer holds it over her face as a hat/bandana etc). We have also decided to use formation quite a lot. During the part where Wild One has a rant about the cages and bars and the confinement, the rest of the characters stand in a V- like formation around her, deliberately not looking at her. We use this type of formation quite a lot, however we do not stand still in the formation for long as we move alot. For example, in the first entry of the mistress, we are guided at a clap to all gather at the mistress' feet.

In the group, there are some 'ringleaders' who are a bit more directive than others, however as we all get used to this script and these characters, it seems to be evening out a bit more.
