Entry Two

Secondary Role in Group Piece

My secondary role in the group piece is that of the scriptwriter. My role is to come up with a script that is compatible with that of a movement piece, and yet is able to bring forward the directorial vision of our piece. Being a novice, my perception of a script for a movement piece would be that of a succint one, as a single line could translate to a series of movements.

I have based our script based on "A Doll's House" by Henrik Ibsen. But rather than adapt directly from the play, I have decided to come up with a piece, drawing inspiration from real life. Just like how symbols were used in the play, I have decided to use the same type of representation in the script in order to represent the moments in which the main character is being controlled.

Expressionistic plays are usually depicted in multiple short scenes in order to potray the emotions. Rather than present these emotions to the audience in a drawed out piece, expressionistic plays aim to shock the audience in a sharp manner. Therefore, I have decided to write the script in such a way that the range of emotions is presented to the audience in a series of short scenes as well.

The play is still currently a work in progress however, as I still need to include more elements similar to the play of "A Doll's House", as well as make the plot more realistic, and adaptable to movements.
