POETRY

Pride can't explain the pain I endure everyday waiting, waiting, waiting, wishing, willing, wanting, the way you smell to suffocate, to smoother, to seduce my every instinct.

 

I want to be isolated, just weighted and consummated with you.

I want to be consumed and connected and craved by you.

I want to be sound and safe and secure in you.

- Me and my partner both used our stimuli to create a piece of writing/poetry that we could also use as an extra stimulus or put into the piece.  I found that this was really good to do because it helped us to understand and connected to our stimuli in a really creative and emotional way as we had to understand the emotions that was needed in our piece to make the movements more interesting and meaningful rather than empty. I also thought that it really helped me to get into the character of our piece and to understand and develop the relationship that we are portraying.

- Once we had both written our pieces we read them and thought that the juxtaposition of the position of the characters was really interesting to play with and that it would work well in our performance. As a result we improvised and explored different ways that the words could be used and contrasted with movement and the other piece of writing. What we discovered is that it works well when we say a line each of our own and then the other says their line and the piece overlaps, I thought that this was effective as it shows the different places that they are in but how they were still connected emotionally and mentally to one another.
