At first the whole class went into the drama studio and sat down. intimate the room there was a projector and a video camera motion-picture photography the exam.Task OneAll things in bold and underlined are the explorative strategies we employ during the exam.At first the whole class went into the drama studio and sat down.Inside the room there was a projector and a video camera filming theexam. I was told to relax and accordingly told to stand up and act like acharacter that depsised everyone else some myself. We all did thisat the same time, whilst walking around the drama studio. At one pointwe were told to act scared of everyone around ourselves I noticed thatnot many people varied their pace as they changed their roles. We werethen told to play a range of different characters. I did not realise howothers were performing as I was concentrating on my own performance.All of this was mimed.We were then told to look at the picture on the projector. The wholeclass got into pairs and discussed the picture on the screen. It was apicture produced by an artist named George Grosz. His style is statedas Caricature the picture we were shown was in this style. In pairswe discussed what we thought was happening in this picture. I wasworking with Victoria and we decided that the men at the front were patently separated from the other characters in the picture, byhaving huge charateristics (e.g Nose and body shape). The poor wereslightly crouched to give the effect they were lower than the 3 men atthe front of the picture. Which was non-naturlistic.We then were told to re-create the picture by ourselves in the studio.Half of the group used physical theatre to create the buildings in thebackground of the picture. The other half of the group had to act asthe people that were in the picture. The students that were acting aspeople used body language to create different standards of sustainment ofthe characters. The picture had 3 different types of people. They wererich, poor, or soldiers.Men played all the rich people which I found slightly sexist. However,they used body language to create an essence of how important and richthey were. They tried to look tough and heavy by crouching theirshoulders up and keeping their hands away from their faces, whichshows that they are not unhealthy (no coughing from illness) Theirfaces showed a bossy and un-sympathetic attitude towards the oldpeople.
