Procession follow up
Today, we used our previous research on different processions to create an entertaining procession. Going into the lesson, we had little idea as to what we would do with is, however we looked at what would be the most creative way of using all the space. To show that the characters were walking to the zoo, we wanted Peter, the wolf and the hunters to walk up the stairs, cross over to the other side, come back down the stairs and then exit through the audience door. This shows that we are going on a journey.While we are halfway, the cat and grandfather will come and do their movement on stage, both performing their motifs. The grandfather will fall back with his walking stick, while the cat will attempt to get the attention from the audience. Then by the time they are done, Peter, the hunters and the wolf will be down by the stage and the grandfather and cat will tag along. Then the birds music will play, meaning the bird will have a small dance routine on stage while the rest of the cast keep walking. Once her section is complete, she will tag along and we will all walk off. Then the music will continue and we will rush back on stage to finish the piece with a final pose. The key to making this entertaining is the audience interaction. My job (as Peter) is to be constantly high giving the children in the audience, while the wolf we be growling at them.
