Today we began to actually create a storyline and plan staging, of how we would structure our performance and the way it is set.
We were very heavily inspired by the audience engagement and decided that it would be best to replace the normal proscenium arch stage with a thrust stage, this would provide and interesting base to place our performance. In addition for many of our scenes we decided to use the space around the audience to keep them interested and make sure they do not get bored with just seeing the acting taking place on the stage.
For our intro we were quite influenced with Stanislavsky's focus on character and decided to give the audience a glimpse of our characters as they enter, standing near the door in character interacting both, with them and each other. This uses the ideas of audience participation and engagement as it involves the audience within the interaction of the characters. This gives the audience a brief introduction into the different characters within the coming performance.
We then began developing the first scene, looking at the ideas of comedy to try and create a scene that conveys the introduction to the Cinderella based story that the performance is based on. We tried our best to make it funny to engage the audience using both slapstick comedy, a main element of comedy for younger children.
