Rehearsal of Mon 17th / Next ToDoList

Evening Acolytes!

Thanks to everyone who could make it, we missed you Sam! We hope everything is OK...
Our next rehearsal shall be THIS Friday during normal lecture hours. If we decide different, comment on this post.

In this Rehearsal we discussed:

• Focusing on our Central themes; "fatty foods", "obesity/famine", "the digestive system--as a structure".
• Individual roles.
  
  
• Sound poetry + dramatized movements;
  
  
  (in this order)
  

1. "ordering food" -- using a prerecorded sound poetry track (while we perform static poses)
   
2. "consuming food" -- performing vocal sound effects of eating food (however disgusting)
   
3. "digesting food" -- performing elaborate movements to demonstrate the process that food takes when being consumed (using 1 person to stand center stage, performing actions as the rest 'move' around the audience...)

• Brainstorming our ideas;
  

1. Costumes; 'Chef hats and aprons' -- 'aprons with food images on' -- 'fat suits'...
   
2. Technical preparations; 'implementing visuals' -- 'obesity/famine, stomach, digestive photos' -- 'video footage of digestive tract' -- 'implementing music'...
   
3. Artistic preparations; 'Food sculpting' -- 'prerecorded, sped-up, footage of us making a canvas painting of futurist art using food (mayo, ketchup, etc.)' ..

There's probably lots more that I forgot.
ToDoList for Next Rehearsal (if this applies)

1. Come up with methods of a scene to stage using our themes and ideas.
2. Find and bring-in TAKE-AWAY Menu's and note some good terms/food words for sound poetry.
3. Think of ways to implement music into our performance.
   

Hope everyone gets on ok!
