Ideas, characters and workshops

We did several workshops throughout the next few lessons we worked on human body language and social theories. We workshopped complete juxtapositions of what was already obvious in society, ideas began to stem from this as we realised what we were working towards was a piece of work about unconventional social behaviour attitudes. We wanted to evoke some emotion and turn things on their heads for the audience to have different persepectives and respnd analytically to our work.

we worked on scenes of women acting like men and without seeming like the cliche 'tomboy' we wanted to tap in to the differences of mens behavioral tendancies to women. In our particular scene we wanted to tap into that anamalistic alpha male egoistic characteur. We wanted to erase that women 'bitchy' mentality we were used to and become more vicious in a manly way. We also played around with ironic idea's such as news reports on something serious made humorous and ridiculous to contradict what the media is saying to us.

my group's particular scene was promoting the craze ' happy slapping' and was an ironic and comical piece to watch as it basically dealt with the underlying issues with the mass media and how they can promote things even if it is in a negative way.
