'End'

'End' is the finale of Joceph K's existence in the world as we know it. As a class you were presented with the final scene. In three groups, given the descriptive text, you had to bring Joseph K to his End.

Now process your ideas...Attached are photos and one filmed group....

As you can now take a step back and evaluate - what worked? what didn't? or what could be even more effective?

Consider the whole group dying as K...

Consider the whole group murdering K...

Documentation - The Arrest, The Cathedral, The Parable

We compeleted some large segments of physical theatre making on Tuesday and Thursday of last week.

Tuesday - we continued on with the opening scene introducing 'The Arrest'

Thursday - we began a new composition 'The Cathedral' and 'The Parable' (Grace's group)

Now in the full swing of creating you need to revisit the compositions created in class and document them here. Comment on what has been done and what other ideas you have to contribute to the meaning of the entire performance.

4 Core Principles

Cast your memories back to our first encounter with Drew and the 4 Core Principles of Zen Zen Zo Physical theatre making....

What are the 4 Core Principles and are they important to the development of the compositions for 'The Trial' so far? How and why....in what ways have these skills enhanced your awareness of theatre making in an ensemble? Have these skills equipped you as a performer and creator of physical theatre? How?

Where to From Here?

Having created and composed the initial opening and other various scenes with script so far, what should come next?

The opening is developing, chronologically where should the composition go to from here?

Where in the space/architecture can we move to from here?

What scripted text could we use next?

Develop discussion and respond to each others ideas in order to have a starting point for Tuesday's lesson.....can't wait to start seeing and hearing your ideas!

Begin Scripting

Now the documentation phase of the physical process begins. As part of the Physical Theatre process you will be required to document the performance you are creating. What I would like you to do is document on the blog the opening scene as it was created on Thursday. Comment on your specific role in this piece, the shape, architecture and spatial relationships used. Also address what the mood and theme of the piece is as it relates to The Trial and Josef K.

How does what Drew choreographed on Thursday tell the audience about what is to come in the story of K?

Can we as a group do any more to develop the theme, story at this point?

Welcome to The Trial

Welcome Year 11 Drama Students studying Physical Theatre this semester. Please ensure you have signed up to the 'Trial' blog and are easily identifiable....if you have a number as your ID then you need to change this to your name.

I look forward to seeing your thoughts and opinions on the blog spot and welcome any queries or questions in relation to the composition. The blog spot is also to be used as a tool for recording your thoughts and compositions created in class. Throughout the creative process you will need to have written a script of the compositions we have created to put on our show.

The Trial by Franz Kafka.
