script work- Learning how to convey the words on the page.


I really enjoyed this workshop as I felt it was different to everything else we have done and I felt I learnt so much, some of them being: 


- If your sitting still your still doing something. 
- Its not what your saying its how you say it. 
- Instead of saying what it is, reaching and creating a new scene with it and also transforming it by adding gestures, different pitch, volume and freezes. 


This workshop opened my eyes and interests to the use of text, so I started thinking widely about what I could do to explore my IPP themes through text. 


Because I chose a personnel experience of a very close family members death, I chose to explore the poem we read out at her funeral, it was a very emotional experience for me but I found it bought me comfort and determination to carry on with the assignment more, so I read the poem out a couple times using different pitch and volume and I discovered I liked whispering and repeating it, slowly just letting the words flow and fly out my mouth. 
The image I had in my head was words with wings. 


 


Then I come up with a conclusion my image fits in perfectly with my theme and I decided to mix and explore my movement with text using different pitch and volume.
