Full body experience - build stamina to be able to remain in the world you’ve created

Think about dream logic - aquarium but the fish are human size with real faces, there is a girl “walking” through the water/ bottom of the tank located within a conservatory. The fish interact with the girl as human beings “do you want dinner” etc. If performed live, turning stage with audience in the round - going against the grain of the performance to create friction and a sense of involvement. An immersive experience utilising all the senses. Could be a 4D performance using heat, water splashing on the audience etc.

We have gathered around with Natasha for a table read and inform her about the development of our project.

We realised that our script was very plain and needed a better structure. This led us to dig deeper into the focal points of our inspiration and ablating us to have a caring understanding of the story we wish to tell.

With Natasha’s feedback the conclusions we come to, we managed to alter our initial script. We incorporated our own writing to connect the scenes and characters in a more relevant way than from the start. Moreover, we gave the characters an intro, so the audience could have a clearer understanding of what’s happening from a beginning.

We could say that Dream is the main focal point of the plot of this story. He has the control of Hell, however, he has no intention on staying there for eternity. Therefore, he organises a feast for his visitors, who have offers for Dream in order to get the rights for Hell.

OBJECTIVE
Dream's objective is to find another disciple to run Hell.
The way he faces it, is in a passive manner, not impressed by the offers of his visitors.

CHARACTERISTICS
Passive middle low pitch voice.

Loki is a visitor that is planning to trick Dream by surprise with the help of his father, Odin, unlike some of the other visitors who are providing offers to obtain hell.

CHARACTERISTICS
High pitch nasal voice tone, wringing posture.

OBJECTIVES
Negotiate with Dream, with the help of Odin, to obtain Hell in regards to a new world with a notional dimension that Odin created.

Thor is a very forward, confident, sleazy god. In this scene he tries to initiate a conversation with Lady Blast who is not interested at all. He can’t handle his drink. He’s very rapacious.

CHARACTERISTICS
A very proud, confident, cocky character that loves to be in a centre of attention. Loves bragging about his strength, power and status. People know how he is and acts and tend to ignore his gloating. They address him as 'sot' or 'lout'. He can be aggressive and impulsive (when he creates chaos in the suites). He's not very hygienic ('he was trying to wipe his vomit from the carpet with his bread').  He gets jealous when others (Dream) steal attention from him.

OBJECTIVES
He doesn't seem interested in Hell itself. He want to enjoy himself by eating and drinking a lot. He's also interested in Lady Bast which seems to be the biggest objective of his evening. He wants to impress her and seduce her. When he fails he seeks comfort in food and drinks. Later on, he gets aggravated by Dream and he causes chaos. He's angry and wants attention on himself.

Conclusions for Lady Bast Mocap:

-focus on arm and hand movement (we used gloves)

-it was hard to move legs (sit with crossed legs)

-exaggerating every movement, putting more effort and purpose into it

-exploring different cat like movements such as licking paws or arching back and stretching

We gathered around to record a voice over for the character of Thor. For this, we rented a mic from the loan store and used Garage Band to record and edit the sound.

Our aim is to communicate our process to our audience, highlighting the key factors that made us able to put this project together.

# data[].attributes.body
Initially, we were more driven from the aesthetic and imagery of the comic, rather than from the story. Therefore, we had more struggle with the script, which we ended up modifying it in order for the scenes and characters to have correlation with each other.

We made use of the laban efforts to ground the characters and exploring their mannerisms through movements inspired by weight, space and time. For example, we specifically experiment with the use of time at the beginning of the piece, when the action is not being focused on, the characters move at half speed. The laban efforts also helped us to the different planes and character profiling our characters could resonate with.

Moreover, we were also inspired by Bretch’s method of exposing the actions and transitions to the audience. The only action we don’t show is Thor´s breakdown in the suites which we chose to incorporate through voice over due to wanting to experiment with other media technologies.
