dance piece

In today's lesson we came up with the idea of including physical theatre. We came up with this:
We would play the song "Roxanne" from the film Moulin Rouge. It begins with Meg and I standing side by side facing the front and behind me is Dan, behind Meg is Mickey. We then do a series of movements that resemble both abuse and sexual abuse. I then get dragged to the floor and whilst I lay there we show the rape between Meg and Dan. To show this rape scene we decided to show it through dance. This will suit our audience more as acting out a rape scene is far too explicit for their age. At the end of the song we show Meg and I drowning our husbands and then being cursed to the sea by Carl.
This entire physical theatre piece shows the back story of the Sirens, telling the audience how they came to be these creatures. I believe the song fits the story perfectly because this is a twisted love story just as it is in the actual film.
After this piece I think we should then show the Sirens drowning some sailors, do then the audience know what these sirens do and why they do it. I also think Carl should narrate this so the audience have a further understanding of the story.
I am extremely happy with our performance so far.
