Transport and manifestos - deivising

whilst begining the devising process we had a blank canvas to work with , we were all told to go home and write manifestos on anything we wanted. We could write them in a creative and artistic way or as a matter of fact report, it could be stylised or naturalistic. We were thenm asked to read it to the class, from these manifestos we gathered idea'sto work with and put the manifestos in to different kinds of situations and scenes in order to expand the ideas we had already. Many of the manifestos stemmed from themes of social behaviour and psychological analyisis's of humans in a social environment. We looked at peoples behaviour on transport and their reactions to other humans because this proved to create a visually effective scene which was humorous due to the irony in it and, one of the scenes that came out of the manifesto for transport was created by putting the audience in two parellel lines formatted like a train carriage and the actors were in the middle of us causing havok either spillling water on us in the middle of the busy hustle bustle of the train journey or blaring their music in our ears, because the actors were so commited to what they had been told to focus on i.e their mp3 player or portable game console it became a dramatised scene of real life situations of how engrossed people are with technology and how ignorant and oblivious others can be on public transport. It was comical due to the fact it was a reality of what occurs around us and the interaction with the audience as part of the scene proved to work well as a dramatic device for this
