The shared dreaming is a really important factor of the piece because its essentially what links all the characters together. This is my research into dreaming. I feel like its important not to know exactly what the dream is. some of us were discussing what the dream was but its very rare that people remember there exact dreaming experience, its often patchy and vague.
Rehearsing the dream Sequence:
Today we began rehearsing the dream sequence. we were in groups of three and looked at different words which relate to the dream. For example mine was entrapment.
Movement:
The movement is a searching. It began with hips, and elbows. We just moved to a sound clip searching in those motions. It was nice to move around and experiment. I feel like it was particularly engaging watching Phoebe because she just doesn't care what she looks like. She frees herself.
Once we had this movement down, we looked at incorporating our words as stimuli. As I mentioned before my word is entrapment. I used this literally at first restricting my movement. I then experimented closing my eyes and holding my breath with my aim to entrap myself like a bad dream (arty I know). This made me move like I was trying to escape. Josh vocally expressed his anguish with deep screams. aurally this was interesting but I don't feel like he was physically pushing himself.
The Sound:
We are using a sound clip by a conceptual artist named 'Scanner' Ive been watching a video of him speaking on the impact of sound. The sound we are using is brown noise I will put a vague example of i down below but not the exact one as I cant find it. I think this impact the audience in a really interesting way as it targets them not visually but aurally. Its purpose is to build tension and discreetly make the audience anxious and uncomfortable.
