We composed lots of short improvised scenes and ones we did not in the end use in the play. We had some ensemble choreographed scenes and some scenes to show some daily routines.
We tried different techniques and dramatic devices and experimented with which ones we were going to be using such as voice overs.
Some of the scenes we had started with were choreographed by Rozana and had looked effective but not meshed with the shows final product in the end.
I enjoyed doing the scenes of Simon says where we had a teacher character and the rest of us copying eachother and blaming eachother for something.
I also thought the ensemble piece we worked on of someone getting out of bed and brushing their teeth washing their face etc worked well with its dramatic devices, and because we had spent so much time getting it all choregraphed and in sync i felt it was a shame that we didnt use it in the final show. It would have linked well our opening scenes of growing up and was good to watch visually.
The simon says scene we didnt use was also a good scene for our title of conformity.
The initial idea was to call our show a 3d play and give out 3d glasses to the audience, the idea of this was to create an ironic idea as we go to the cinema to watch 3d films now but theatre is already 3d, the idea of 3d could be ridiculed and the audience would later realise that they did not need to be wearing 3d glasses.
In the end we called it , Is that right? an open ending question which allowed you the audience to have their own interpretation and make of it what they wanted.
