Today in rehearsal myself jade and max were in our room we have chosen for our performance and began the first steps in physically devising our piece. We have made decisions about how we are going to open our piece. In our room there is a separate small room which we are going to enter from once the audience are inside the room. We are going to use a piece of music at the beginning of our performance to open it, we have decided on using an acoustic instrumental piece, with a slight eerie vibe to it. We want the lighting to be very dim and flickering, Siou gave us the idea of holding lights below our faces, and when we begin our monologues to turn the light on, this would instantly grab the audiences attention and would create a very intense feeling. We want to make our room look abandoned and neglected, to create a rural feeling. 

We have been beginning to plan out our movement piece, I feel it would be a good idea to open the piece with some music and devise a group movement piece in unison, whilst travelling around our "set" we have created, which we refer to as the game board, because it is like a chess board and we are the chess pieces, moving through life individually but we are all in the same world.
