Different States of Mind

Lesson 1-Task 1Asked to find a position, to show our madness, and to talk, on the spot like a mad person foetal postion, sitting, weak curled up, small, feel insignificant Arms strapped around back-straight jacket, not in control Head between legs, praying, desperation, no hope Muscles constantly tensed, on guard

What I said Speaking in short sharp bursts, something inside pushing words out "The people are coming" (repeat-showing how it keeps happening mentally or real) No-one understands me Why is this happening Get me out of here

Task 2 (in pairs)Asked to find a still image showing madness Representing same person Matt=bad within, me=good Im trying to pull Matt out of the body Levels-me small, the minority fighting within the body My facial expression, concentrating, angry, shouting silently, no-one can hear me, how they might feel

Lesson 2- Task 1 (whole group)Asked to show the transition between the old asylum atmosphere and techniques and the modern ways using soundWorking out everyones roles, and where we would be positioned, improvising, and moving accordinglyDecided on our linesDid above for both
