in this version we swapped the order of people walking on and added more characterisation by focusing on how characters in the higher class/ lower class would walk and carry themselves as well as working on the physical emotion of our characters, for example my character (Mr Poole) is a upper class man therefore I tried to walk with a straight back with a very upright approach as well as working on the smug faces he would have towards the lower class.

in this dance we began to work on chorography with the umbrellas and using the newspapers as props to solidify the discovery of the murders within the public of London, when using these props we also began to work on how our characters would look when reading about such important people being murdered as well as thinking about our characters relationships with the characters that have died we did this by focusing on our emotion and physical interaction with each other. for example with my partner in this section of the dance we both look at each other in fear and realisation of what has happened.

in this version of the dance we changed the order of the people more to fit the vocals(so people who sing first come on stage first etc.) as well as adding choreography leading in/out of engagement party and into alternate scenes.

For murder, murder we need newspapers to be handed out to the audience and used within the dance, to do this I used the song lyrics and stage directions to create a somewhat realistic newspaper to what they would have in the time of this dance. These will also possibly be made to look old to fit the era.

in this practice we ran through the murder murder choreography with a new section, this section symbolised a train therefore we had characters holding onto train handles and sitting in certain pose. we also worked on the scenes that transition into new parts of the song.

this is the second newspaper made, me and my classmate lily made it together. First lily wrote the text for the newspaper itself which was then sent to me and set out in a very simular format to the other newspaper. we then got 25 printed and hand tea stained them all.
