Parallel Lines Day 3

Jan lead a fantastic physical (dance) warm up this morning to get the team moving and grooving before some concentration games which included a game I was previously taught by Becky Poole (Above Board Fitness) which she calls Space Invaders and involves making eye contact and releasing people by saying their name… I was completely embarrassed by accidentally referring to each actor by character name which had been firmly embedded in my brain from the two read throughs on day 1! A fun start to the day anyway!

Then onto a physical activity; moving around the performance space individually as each character but all at the same time (permission to interact if you were led to this naturally) with stimulating music such as “65 Days of static” to also start exploring sound inspirations. I have attached my two favourite images that were discovered during this process. Please note that these are not set and were not deliberately staged, merely an exploration that both myself and director, Catherine Paskell, loved key moments of. In these I loved the levels created and the way in which Steph (played by Lowri Palfrey) and Simon (Gareth Pierce) are in their separate worlds, separated physically by Melissa (Jan Anderson) and Julie (Sara Lloyd Gregory) yet still connected within the space by simply facing in each other’s direction.

Also created were wonderful moments of mirroring (subconscious on the part of the cast members who through R&D and character development implies an already established level of connectedness between them) with physical positions such as head bowed over versus head extended up and back, and with energy levels. A beautiful moment between Steph and Julie occurred when Steph accepted Julie’s pacing and movements within the space, having previously been quite still- a moment between mother and daughter where they bonded and Steph appeared as a child as opposed to the young woman she had portrayed previously. Until, Julie stopped her momentum and the relationship deteriorated once more.

Exploring individual worlds within the same physical space created so many powerful images and helped the actors to experience the performance space in which there is no off stage area. Perhaps the audience will see what the characters experience and feel in the scenes in between their spoken scripted dialogue? Would ‘background’ actions and images support or contradict the stories and words we are told- do we then believe what the characters are telling us? Very excited to continue exploring these ideas and really appreciative of NTW TEAM for giving me the opportunity to experience working creatively on this project and see the development process.

Lunch was spent listening to and discussing what sound says about each character and how it contributes to the audience experience and the implications on the meaning and messages they read into the performance. Some very high pitched synthesised sounds to experiment with. After lunch we are going to apply some of the physicality discovered this morning to initial scenes. Excited to return on Monday to see more.

Plays in the Bag Writer Workshops with Dirty Protest

This fabulous opportunity for budding/emerging writers is not to be missed! As the Dirty Protest tour of 'Parallel Lines' gets underway they are keen to support new work and writers along the way by collaborating with established and wannabe writers in these bilingual and FREE workshops where you have the opportunity to write a new play (developing skills and picking up tips on the way) and see it performed that evening by an incredibly talented group of actors. 

As the Assistant Director on Parallel Lines (thanks to ntwTEAM) I cannot express enough how supportive and encouraging Dirty Protest are and how genuinely enthusiastic they are about working with new writers and on new ideas so don't miss out on this amazing experience to participate in workshops or come along and see the performances. 

The performance event in the evening is free to all audience in some venues (check with venue for ticket price and details). All evening performances are free to Parallel Lines tickets holders and workshop participants.

Email info@dirtyprotesttheatre.co.uk now to get involved at; 

Y Ffwrnes, Llanelli on 6th October 

Y Galeri, Caernarfon on 9th October
