Rehearsals

Our first rehearsal in our space was difficult. With 9 people, generating solid ideas can be hard, because everyone argues and has their own opinions. We eventually settled on the idea of an election. We are going to use the glass as a tv screen with election candidates. Then have the 'voters' outside the glass mocking them.

With such a large group beginning our devising process was proving difficult so me and two others decided to write out an initial section of script based on our ideas.

Section 1:

News reporter stands outside. Two Prime Minister Characters standing behind the glass red tie blue tie.

News reporter: Welcome to 6 o’clock news… now we go live to the election debate

Jane Doe: look look to be honest it’s no secret that debt is creeping back up to a dangerous level there needs to be a major cut back on public spending if we don’t want a rerun of 2009-

John Doe: Public spending is not the culprit, if we intend to level the rising debt the answer lies in taxes

Jane Doe: The British people don’t have money to spare! It’s ridiculous to expect-

Viewer 2: (mutes tv) ohhh my god this is boring I hate them both

Viewer 1: Yeah shes fit though

Viewer 2: really? I don’t see it

Viewer 1: Good arse. She’s got my vote.

Viewer 2: hahaha look (replaces Voice of John Doe) ‘It’s possible that I am the most boring Candidate that ever existed. Everything I say makes people want to commit suicide. Eton eton eton eton eton eton eton eton eton. I actually ride a thorough bred pony to work. David Cameron and I actually used to ride each other back at eton. Ha ha ha . Classic times.

Viewer 1: I use my breasts to point me in the direction of political decisions! I like it good and hard. And of course,I like my cocks very very large. Huge even, Gigantic, Colossal, Massive. I am very dedicated to pleasuring this country. I will pleasure each and every citizen. That I promise.

Initial Performance Ideas

We had various different ideas about how to use our space, as we wanted to combine the outside section with the glass and the stairs. Some ideas were:

• A day in the life, a sequence of events happening within a day and there significance
• the class divide between rich and poor - a rich people's party/fundraiser for Ethiopian children, yet have starving people right outside their window who they aren't willing to help (stimulus: book called the help)
• A poor girl from the outside falls in love with a rich girl on the inside
• Political election - mp's on the inside of the glass the people on the outside mimicking, arguing
• School pranks gone wrong
• A murder mystery, someone gets killed we find out who
• MP scandals and lies
• combination of election and scandal
