Our movement causes a response from Cerys, just like us controlling her mind causes her insomnia.]]> 2020-01-14 16:32:15 UTC https://padlet.com/yana_yj99/ceep396m5j/wish/431396583 yana_yj99 https://padlet.com/yana_yj99/ceep396m5j/wish/431399355 We found that this tool worked well for us as it created interesting movement. We also applied the appropriate intention and dynamic to reflect the state of sleep we are resembling. ]]> 2020-01-14 16:36:46 UTC https://padlet.com/yana_yj99/ceep396m5j/wish/431399355 yana_yj99 https://padlet.com/yana_yj99/ceep396m5j/wish/431408157 2020-01-14 16:49:08 UTC https://padlet.com/yana_yj99/ceep396m5j/wish/431408157 yana_yj99 https://padlet.com/yana_yj99/ceep396m5j/wish/431409060 Names of everyone in Group:

Discuss structure of the piece, and how you plan to apply/explain/execute your narrative accordingly to the structure. Structure- 
Lucid dreams > Sleep insomnia > Nightmare > Sleep paralysis. 
Each section focuses on a different person each of whom are suffering from one of the states of sleep and the others are representing what’s happening in their mind.
Frustrations and blockages? We had ideas to be very specific to the music within certain sections, this is something we struggled to do and create movement too, however we have now started this section and are moving on. 

Utilizing the pillows in a way that’s more creative and mature. 

Injuries within the group. 
How much have you got left to go? How do you plan on structuring that?
ie.
‘We have 3 minutes and have designated ourselves 3 more working weeks left until the assessment. 

We plan to accomplish all setting and structure within 3 Deadlines within the 1st week. Each deadline will be the completion of 1 min of content.

2nd week is a week for us to get our costume together, develop/rework/layer the piece.

3rd week, solidifying everything we have laid out, and allowing a week to clean and work solely on intent and performance quality.’ 2 major sections left to do and then all that is left to do is clean and link sections together. 

Aim is to have the piece completed before Wednesday so we have Thursday and Friday of the last week before Christmas to start piecing together and cleaning the performance. 

Over half term we are all going to individually work on our roles, ie music, lighting costumes etc.

First week back after half term we plan to continue cleaning and developing our final product to something we are happy with.]]> 2020-01-14 16:50:24 UTC https://padlet.com/yana_yj99/ceep396m5j/wish/431409060 yana_yj99 https://padlet.com/yana_yj99/ceep396m5j/wish/431444809 This rehearsal we were focused on applying the feedback received from Chad.

This song was perfect for our lucid dreams section. We wanted to feel weightless when performing this section and this song defiently helps.

'Dreams'- Nuages
In this song there is a section of speech. We felt this really wokred with our number. We printed out the words from this and choreographed gesteral movements with our pillows to each word. This was an interesting and creative way to create content.

The last song we used for our accompaniment was 'Human'- Sevdaliza. This piece of music had a lot more grit and base to it, making it more intense. We decided to use this would work best in the nightmares and sleep paralysis section.
