Tuesday 21st October
- discussed interval ideas
- re-staged act 2 scene 2
- ran snowball fight physical movement piece and bullying scene that follows it
I came up with an idea for the interval, and what the cast could do during it. Much like the beginning of the production, where we all have characters and cross the stage slowly to open the show, we could do this again, this time as specific characters such as Halmberg, Hakan, Micke and the others. We each would have a purpose, and would interact if necessary. The audience will be allowed to move around and get a drink or use the restroom much like an interval normally is in the theatre. I also thought that the audience can have permission to explore the town that we have created in the small space provided. They can view the scenery and the set that is on stage, but up close. The bed and chair for Act 2 Scene 2 will be set within the interval, as cast members cross the stage, making it subtle and seem to appear naturally. Connor and I will be in place for that scene within the last few minutes of the interval. I will act as though I'm interviewing him, but this would be in mime. Once the interval ends and Act 2 begins, Connor and I will freeze, and once our scene starts we will do the dialogue as if it is mid-conversation, to illustrate that I have been interrogating him to no avail.
We also then re-staged this scene, so that I could characterise Halmberg properly for this scene, and so that we could work out a new way for Eli to enter the scene instead of 'climbing the wall', as this wouldn't be possible with our set design and space. I have made annotations in my script for this scene and how I will act with character's thoughts and objectives. My line "Are you involved in some kind of cult?" seems like a ridiculous question, but is understandable in the circumstance that all the killings have been ritualistic and Halmberg therefore questions not only the mannerisms of the murders but also the sanity of Hakan. How psychotic can this man really be?
