Again I was only here for the first half so I started off the session, we all discussed our favourite idea's that we would want to keep included into the final performance and they all said
-sound scape
-the idea of shadow theatre
-the frames to be used to climb through
I decided that I also really liked the first freeze frame and if we centre it around Red, and used the first line 'There once was a delicious little girl called Red, who was loved by everyone who saw her'
For this session me and Kelly decided to work on contrast, so I would create the basis, making it creepy, then Kelly would try a variation to make it more comical.
I made everyone but Red face the back, Red would start talking, on delicious the rest of the group would turn around, using a stage whisper to repeat the word 'delicious'. Blue would say 'who was loved by everyone who saw her'. The rest of the group would the walk away leaving the mother stood behind Red who was kneeling down. This meant that we could create a non naturalistic moment where the mother would reach out to give the basket to Red, and Red would reach forward to collect it. This symbolises the lack of direct information given by the mother to Red showing the reasons for why she may be naive.
To then make it more eerie, we made the repetition of delicious really snide and said on a slow turn that would make them stare at red, they will then snap straight back to facing the back, ready to walk into a carousel that would be ready so that when they walk in a circle it becomes the wood in which Red can use for the next transition scene.
We kept going over until we could get it fluid and that the turning was in synchrony We then added a sound scape to the carousel wood movement in order to link it and make a make the scene less static while Red prepares to go to the woods.
