Being Supergirl

Story:

Goal: trying to explain something to your sister but you have no voice

Obstacle: in a hurry to save the town but you need her help


Devising theater:

Gecko :

1: creative progress

- movement focus

- set added to the movement piece

- costumes also added to the movement piece

2: staging process

- script

- design

- reality

- text is not changeable but way of how the text to portrayed can change the text

3: devising theater

- using text to make movements 

- finding actors to have characteristics of the character


Starting point:

Forest fire image:

Activity:

A scenario:

Teens lost in a forest

They are on their own and scared

Very opposite people - enemies to fall in love

Want to get back home have no clue how to survive. 

Slowly begin to grow on each other

Sees fires and starts running


Aishlinn’s Activity:

Poses that express the art work

Poses I did:

-Running

-Tree

- damsel in destress

- fire

- fear

- screaming

Activity was fun and a new way to think about show emotion

My activity was making a skit.

- fun to see others ideas with my skit

- it was fun to bring my idea to life

- I liked adding critics

Kam’s activity:

Monologue without using the word fire

Oh no it is coming closer

I got to run

Oh no what about the animals

I have to just run

But what about the trees

Run!

What is there are people other than me in here

Hurry!

I am so out shape 

I can’t die now

I thought this was an interesting way to portray a scene in this situation 


The bigger I get

The more power I gain

Sometimes it is something I regret

That I cause pain

I am used for heat

But once I start it is hard to stop

It is hard to admit defeat

Especially with smoke at my top

Movement Performance

  This project we did theater caused me to have a lot of emotions. After watching The Things I Know be True, we got to find song lyrics that connected to the emotions in the play. I just liked this because I love music and instead of finding random quotes I felt passionate about finding the right song. The big theme was about change in the play. When I thought about songs about change one song came to my head, Change by Jayden Bartels. Jaden Bartels has been my inspiration for a while now. I love this song because I get to hear her talk about how change is different and hard to deal with, I truly felt not alone in the same situation. She also expresses that change is ok in the end, which is meaningful for me. I knew to give off the same theme as the play so I chose the perfect part to do my movements performance to. Kamden was the first one to direct his lyrics and movement. We got to explore our own movements and thoughts to his skit. When it was my turn I was nervous to be too st...

Reflection to "You Are Not Okay"

     Our final piece was interesting. I personally imagined our piece in a different way. I liked the meaning we were trying to portray. As a person with a few mental health differences, it was nice to do a skit about something I have experienced. Since I could really imagine our skit myself,  I tend to be bossy and stubborn to a point that I don’t like it when my idea is not heard. I thought that it would be interesting to actually be circling the person in the middle and either at the same time or individually ask “are you ok?” while still being in the circle. I personally believe that going on the platforms made no sense. If we did go on the platform to show that the person in the middle feels that they are small in the world, they should also be tiny. I thought as the shortest person in the group it made more sense that it was me in the middle. I truly think that way the thought that they are a small part of the world can truly come to life. Also when we circle t...

Pipeline

 - interesting about how we got to watch Nya make her first voicemail then re-record it to show her real feelings with her stating her emotions - I am confused about the beating in the script, what is it? - punctuation is repeated - connection between O and Nya through white board is interesting - poem equal symbolism - slang used often - confused by slash - powerful in relationship between parents and children and. How parents lives become kids baggage. - this is very impactful and moving - how they tended to have two scene at once and have cross over each other shows a lot of importance
