First meeting

We explored and developed how our characters in the couples first met and physically moved through and expressed the emotions and instant love within one and other. In our pair we looked at how the physical touch can send and the tension and connection that goes though each other. We showed this through the small grazing of our hands touch. We used that literal situation of waiting for a bus and then taking it into a more abstract physical exploration. We took the small touch of the hands and showed how the connection travels through the body. Hopefully we show this through our facile and body expressions and how they change from neutral to a more exaggerated and abstract movement to show heightened emotions.

 

We then jumped in time to the moment when the couple start to explore and get to know each other. We show this through the physical and intimate movement and gentle touching of each other. We used this physical movement to show the personal and emotional development of the relationship. I feel that through the intimate touching and delicacy shown through the physical movements shows the care that went through the process of getting to know each other and the love that develops between the characters. We then moved to me being picked up and a turn to show the passion and love and fire that was also part of the relationship and the connection going from emotional to physical. Also contextually couples wouldn’t have had sex until they were married so this more sensual movement symbolises the marriage of the characters and them coming together as one. I feel that this highlights the pain when they get separated as spiritually and emotionally they have become one and are being ripped apart.
