Single - Research into 'Drunk Two'

When looking at this photo and looking at the dialogue for this character it makes believe that the two drunk men are mid 40's or so, looking a bit scruffy if they have had a drink and also looking as if they're going to game of football (so a possible football shirt)

Single - Research into Police officers

In this photo we can see that the two police officers look rather serious but quite civilized at the same time. Using this photo my character at the beginning could  show this by using a fairly film tone to my voice and then when Christopher assaults the police officer we can hear and see that type of strict police officer that you see on tv shows like 'Road Wars' etc

Double - Idea for the story of Aries

Myself, Meg and Dom were put into a group and we came up with this more realistic, modern day version of the Greek tale of Aries. We use the song 'The Scientist' by Coldplay at one point to show him being 'humiliated' by all the people in his school, this way we can see him slowly progress in being more aggressive and angry through out the rest of the story.

Single - Ideas for the Play

One idea that I have had for the play is to have other characters with worst or just as bad cases of autism. I think it would be interesting to see how Christopher and other people like himself act around each other and hear how they might handle their condition. And with in this scene we can see different people process, for example where as Christopher counts all the prime numbers up too 7507 to calm himself down and is incredibly talented at maths, other people might click really fast with their fingers or whistle a song. If this idea was to be used then i believe that the audience would be able to see a wide variety of autism and  a very good skill of multi-rolling and a strong skill of characterization.

Single - Excersises Developing Characters

On Thursday's lesson, we started the lesson off by playing a type of 'game'. In which we would be put in a scenario and would have to act that scenario but in our own interpretations. For example we would have to be popcorn stuck in candyfloss and try to get out. Then we would have to act upon a colour. E.g if the colour green was shouted out then we would have to go with our instinct and just change straight away. So everyone was doing something completely different to each other and would change their facial expression, body language. By doing this exercise I believe that it allows us to change personalities quickly which would benefit us as individuals for this play as we are multi-rolling many characters in the play. 

Single - Christopher in London Scene

Christopher in London

In this scene we get a clear picture of where Christopher is as we have the sounds that you would hear in London. We see that Christopher is confused as he has never been on a tube before and keeps repeating the same question. By using the sounds that we as a class have created, this makes the audience feel as if they are in London, when we start to walk around however, it creates that feeling of being in the middle of rush hour, making the audience pay more attention to the play. Personally I like the idea of having the whole scene as it wakes the audience up slightly but also makes them feel as if they can relate to it because they might have been in a similar environment at some point in their life.

Single - Improvisiation Police Scene

Improvised Police Scene


In this scene, as you can see we was set the task of improvising a conversation between all the police officers in the play. By doing this we are able to see how other people feel towards Christopher and how he has had an affect on them because of his Autism, I also like to think that by doing this, it lets our audience change their moods and ideas slightly as it is a conversation in which people can relate to (eg, knowing someone/looking after someone who's wet themselves).

Strengths & Weaknesses

My strength for this task is that I was able to work in a group and we came up with a very brief structure to this scene. We worked well as a group as we thought like our characters.

My weakness for this task is that I did find it hard to keep in the role of my character at times due to my childish like humor, so one thing i would need to improve on is staying so focused that i stay in character and don't let my humor get to me.
