Goddess Body language;

Flowing movements
looks confident and knows what she is saying.

Poetic text written ideas :

"True strength lies not in physical prowess, but in the strength of character." A wise woman knows when to speak and when to stay silent.
And the true test of a persons character is how they treat those who are weaker than themselves. But don’t be fooled this is not the survivor who is weak here.
"You already know what to do. You can see far, you can see true, you can see within. All the answers you are seeking are hidden inside you."

New idea

There are so many people that care about you, he is not one of them, you know this isn’t love.

You know it is freedom that you want.

There’s 8 billion people walking the earth stop letting this one persons tie you down and have so much control over you.

Just get out.

- Refine movements throughout.
- Slow down when speaking
- Create more clarity in what is being said.
- Accumulation on “hair face lips eyes waist arms and legs”

- Single mother scene needs improvement

Style and themes (Figure 4A)

- Stanislavsky would work really well for this piece.

- Naturalism

Konstantin Sergeievich Alekseiev - who later adopted the stage-name Stanislavski – was born on 17 January, 1863, to a wealthy family in Moscow.

Stanislavski developed his own dramatic training method, called the Stanislavski system, which requires actors to rely on their emotional memory, conditioning themselves to fully grasp their character’s mindset. He encouraged actors to fully inhabit their characters, seeking motivation in their dialogue; a technique now common to much naturalistic theatre.

As it stands his techniques are still sued in the modern day.

Character building (Figure 5A)

Bethany_Martin1 — 2024-02-09 08:23:20 UTC

Hot seating as a way of getting into our characters Mary Catherine and Tereasa.

I have given my own flare on Mary and made her into this ‘can’t be bothered’ attitude, dry humour, and a little bit sassy kind of women. This works particularly well when it comes to her interactions with her other sisters, Mary and Catherine, because they bounce of if each other creating this connection on stage.

Staging (Figure 5)

- Homely set with a bed, mirror, and chair

- Bags and clothing on the floor

- lighting isn’t too bright but is also warm to give it that homely feel.

Opening scene (figure 1A)

To represent the growing up of a women we could use movement as a way of illustrating this.

Practitioner idle motion are very visual and use physical theatre.
A movement montage that consists of the stages of growing up.

Idle motion (figure 1)

Bethany_Martin1 — 2024-02-09 08:29:42 UTC

Formed in 2007, Idle Motion are a young theatre company with big ideas and a huge passion for creating exciting, beautiful new work. They create highly visual theatre that places human stories at the heart of their work.

A practitioner that will work very well as we can incorporate it with Greek mythology.

'Knowledge is power' (Figure 1B)

Bethany_Martin1 — 2024-02-18 22:29:46 UTC

A powerful message written by Sir Francis Bacon
How do we relate this to our own piece
what can we take from this?

Women are powerful but do they know this?

Staging (Figure 2B)

possible staging needs to be visually pleasing and related to Greek Goddesses.

Possible forms of staging:

Mountain Olympus - be made up of boxes and table to help elevate it off of the floor.
Fairy lights and vines to make it seen by audience and have that elegant look.
Using a cloth or long piece of fabric could be a good idea to giving it more of a Greek look.
