PHYSICAL SECTION

This week as a group we looked at devising the physical section within the lift. We wanted to create something that explored the process of the passesngers death in a delicate and interesting way. We began by improvising in the space, reacting naturally to each other and exploring different ideas and movements. We decided to focus on the passesngers bones breaking as this was a central part to the cause of their death's. We began by focusing on the qualities of our movements, looking at the sharp jolted way that the peoples bodies would have been moved. We also wanted to make sure it looked like their was a seperate force causing the bodies to move in theis way. to do this we decided to isolate the movements from the rest of the body, starting with just the fingers being moved, progressing up the arm and then to the torso. We felt this worked best as it showed the gradual painful process of this force taking over the bodies.

We also began thinking about how we would show the actuall falling of the lift and the process of the characters bodies being dragged down with it. So far we have thought about using lifts to represent this and having all the bodies in the space work as one to represent the force. I think we need to continue to look at this idea and next week to try it in our space to see how it effects the sounds and visuals for the audience.
