You are going to write a post that evaluates how you used the style and form of Physical theatre to create a piece of drama symbolising the struggle of the creature when he is abandoned by Frankenstein. Use the model answer below to help you (I have also posted a definition of physical theatre separately.

CHALLENGE: Try to use alternative vocabulary to replace the word 'effective'.

Model Answer:

In my group we used the style and form of physical theatre to help set the scene and communicate how difficult it was for the creature abandoned in a scary city environment. We first stood in a line to create a wall that the creature was peering over and using to hide behind as he was scared. Then we transitioned into the shape of a train heading straight towards the creature. To make the physical movements even more powerful we used a sound scape of city noises like cars beeping and the rushing sound of the train. This emphasised how loud the city would be for the creature.]]> 2017-09-14 15:41:30 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/187624203 https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/187975017 In my group we used style and form by showing in our still images how bad it is in the flat 13 and what happens when you are abandoned by Frankenstein. My group were first deciding what we will do for a still image then what we will do for a whole little act, then we actually stood and showed each other where we will stand and introduce new idea's. After we were looking at our act and still images and thought, if we needed anything but it was fine. We were bringing out more ideas but then we thought it would be difficult to join in the other piece with the new idea, so we just left it and carried on with our final piece.]]> 2017-09-15 15:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/187975017 https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/187987685 2017-09-15 15:34:00 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/187987685 https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/187992200 My group and i used style and form of physical theatre  to create a piece of drama to show how hard it can be for the creature. We started our drama piece with two people (Fazana and i ) being the gates and we had some people being cars, airplanes, trees and buildings.After our role of being a gate we turned into buildings. We also added sound to show the little creature how a busy city will be like. The sound that we added were off cars driving fast, gates closing and the airplane flying in the air. All of the sounds and the acting of the style and form of physical theatre created  a fine, outstanding and creative piece of drama.  BY LYBA Ramzan ]]> 2017-09-15 15:43:03 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/187992200 https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/188025213 Hello it's Malek so today in class we dis physical theatre and how I showed that is when in my group when we were doing our role play I was being the car and I showed physical theatre by acting like a car and I was also making noise of a car to demonstrate and show that I am a car that's how I howled pjs cal theatre today]]> 2017-09-15 16:57:59 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/188025213 https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/188150246 In my group we used physical theatre by creating a door for the creature to walk through and enter the  world of humans.

Our group included moving cars, buses, flashing street lamps, stray cats, and chiming clocks. This physical theatre was proven successful because the buses startled the monster and the bright street lights almost blinded it, leaving him crashing into other moving vehicles. We also added potent soundscape such as: bus noises, clock chimes, and cat noises. This highlighted the true actions during a rush hour in our city for the creature.]]> 2017-09-17 08:05:21 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/188201409 https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/188211042 Physical theatre is anything that puts the human body at the centre of the storytelling process. As a result it’s often abstract in style, using movement in a styled  and representation way. Physical theatre shows that you don't have to use words to express ideas. It uses techniques such as movement, mime, gesture and dance and can be used to explore complex social and cultural issues.]]> 2017-09-17 10:28:13 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/188211042 https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/188259055 in my group we style the form of physical theatre by showing a different scarier places for Frankenstein , what we done was that there were two fast cars on high speed with two tall buildings high up and lots of trees what set the scene was that the soundscape was loud and productive because of the sounds that would have made Frankenstein feel frightened and that would show the environment  and climate i.e. cars beeping and going so fast that it makes a vroom sound ,trees whooshing and buildings door opening and closing and that would show the sounds of animals in the background.

To show physical theatre we acted like creatures and cars on a busy road. To make the physical movements even more powerful we used a sound scape of cars, cats and trees. this shows how busy the city is ]]> 2017-09-18 12:18:15 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/188418625 https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/188626203 In my group we used the style and form of physical theatre to help communicate with my team on how to set the theme for the lost and abandoned mythical creature who was abandoned bye its fellow owner Frankenstein

My partner and I were the clock and we used our arms as hands, our bodies as the clock and we made "tick, tick" and "ding, ding" noises. This is effective because as time rushes by it makes people panic. In this case the "person" panicking is Frankenstein's Monster. Also, we had noises of cars and other typical city noises. The effect this has on the audience is that it really represents that the creature is an outsider to the normal occurrences of this world because everyone has heard a car before. Also, the city we created using physical theatre contrasts the dark silence the creature is used to profoundly.]]> 2017-09-18 19:04:19 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/188633078 https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/189061729 In my group we worked well together. We were able to use physical theatre to symbolise when Frankenstein was walking through our city. We used sound scape to identify destruction when he walked threw our city which was hard but we over came it i think one of the toughest parts of our role play was the fact that we couldn't have any people in our performance so we decided to improvise we added a still image with life like things then we went through a transition were we added noisy cars and busses and dogs barking in the distance and many other things this emphasised how it was portrayed to the audience if they saw what we hoped for them to see or if we had to improve. ]]> 2017-09-19 18:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/189061729 https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/189062806  in my group we formed a city/town using physical theater. We had different things like i was a slow car and Shakirah was a very fast and zooming car as well as Jowhar was a airplane and Farzana and Fahmida were gates and obstacles for the little slug to go through we placed this scenery in a very busy city/town because we wanted the creature to explore and we found that a busy city/town was best for the creaturee.]]> 2017-09-19 18:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/189062806 https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/189810630 Then we transitioned into the shape of a train heading straight towards the creature.

As well as buildings and trees, we created a car and a cat chasing a bird around to make the scene seem more chaotic.We also used a soundscape of cars beeping and animal noises to show how Frankenstein would be completely overwhelmed, seeing and hearing all kinds of new things and still getting used to walking at the same time.

 we had cars going round the city and houses as well. the creature was scared because of the bird that was flapping around because it was going everywhere as well as the cat because it was chasing the bird. 
to have made our city even better we could have added more city sound to make it more interesting and more city like.]]> 2017-09-21 18:38:11 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/189897841 https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/189909144 Using physical theatre is effective and creates a physical atmosphere. And for a story like Frankenstein, it goes with it, it shows how Frankenstein acts and how he moves]]> 2017-09-21 19:04:32 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/189909144 https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/189932308 2017-09-21 20:20:22 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/189932308 https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/190001153 In my group (3) we used little physical theatre in setting the scene , like:
- tall buildings
- a tree
- cars
Even though we didn't use much physical theatre, we used soundscape, like:
- sounds of birds 
- of cats
- of cars engineWe thought it was important for Frankenstein to hear the sounds of a neighborhood.

Our theme was a busy city with cars and an aeroplane taking off for a flight. We created this by using our body language for example at the beginning we used our arms as the doors for Frankenstein to leave the house and then we had two cars going around on a high speed creating beeping noises.]]> 2017-09-22 06:30:10 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Griffiths/8RBLOG1/wish/190005018
