Drama
When working on a scene between Hazel and Taylor, Hazel playing a posh stuck up girl and Taylor playing a chav, we originally had them placed at a bus stop revealing secrets that they were pregnant and each had the same boyfriend. We came to this decision when we all sat as a group and discussed issues and revelations that would be typically shocking for a teenager and these were the ideas we came up with. When running through the scene Hazel found it extremely hard to come up with lines for her character so taylor came up with an idea
When working on a scene between Hazel and Taylor, Hazel playing a posh stuck up girl and Taylor playing a chav, we originally had them placed at a bus stop revealing secrets that they were pregnant and each had the same boyfriend. We came to this decision when we all sat as a group and discussed issues and revelations that would be typically shocking for a teenager and these were the ideas we came up with. When running through the scene Hazel found it extremely hard to come up with lines for her character so taylor came up with an idea
So mid-way through them acting out the scene
we stopped the scene and I told them I didn't think the scene was funny enough
or going anywhere as they were very still, the whole group agreed and we then
all had suggestions for settings such as a party, at a bus stop standing up
then I made the suggestion of setting it in a pe classroom so they could still
be students and the same characters, we tried out the scene and it worked
better but the dynamic between the two girls wasn't working so one of us came
up with the idea of adding in a character and we all thought that a PE teacher
would be the best as it would add more interaction with the girls.
We also thought that as we were
changing the scene the conversation between the two girls was boring for the
interaction of the lesson. We all brainstormed idea of what we had experienced
when in years 8-9 such as trends and gossip, this was when Taylor mentioned
people sold things for a profit in school and then suggested that the girls had
shoplifted before school and had to hide all the things under their jumpers
from their teacher whilst doing the PE lesson.
Therefore we decided as I needed to be in another scene I should be the PE teacher, I thought as we were doing stereotypes and caricatures I would choose to be an Australian PE teacher. We started improvising the scene with me calling the students In, I thought of putting on a track which was spice girls and during the teaching of the 'dance class' I would slyly confess my love for the spice girls.
The transformation of the old scene to the new idea was very fast, it was full of snap decisions that we all agreed on to improve the scene and in it in a different direction. However we thought we should still be at the stage of improvisation so we thought if it felt right it would be okay to change the scene.
As we started improvising I had huge characters in my head for example ............... And thought it would great to base my characters on such roles. As I got further into the role and more comfortable my character was quickly established. I was an Australian loud, quite typically tom boyish woman in her late 20s with a love for the spice girls, with no shame or embarrassment who is quite feisty. I started teaching a dance class, something that just came to mind as it was easy to teach. I started teaching ridiculous vulgar dance moves to the song 'say you'll be there' with then added ideas from the group watching us thy suggested dance moves from our generation when we were in younger years that our audience would understand.
As I was facing the audience I couldn't see what was going on between the two girls but Hazel had established her character a lot more and decided she was ditsy and stupid but still posh meanwhile Taylor was still a chav but not so enthusiastic about the whole charade.
