<~*MimE & MoveMenT*~>

This week we have been focusing on movement. 'Mirror, Mirror' has a very big focal point on movement, because the setting is the inside of a circus the characters have to be able to move their bodies in different ways.

We were separated in pairs and were asked to mirror each others movements. You needed a great deal of focus to complete this task successfully. We needed to use our peripheral vision to watch what our partner was doing but also needed to mirror their movements at the same time. This was difficult to do especially if the partners were of different heights. We were then spilt off into different sex partners and were played music, we were asked to 'go with the music' and move to how it made us feel, we were also given colours and had to change our movements to the different colours and how they made us feel. This was interesting because when you looked around you could see that every group was almost doing the same movement, especially for red, grey and magenta.
We then moved into larger groups and were played the music once again. It was eerie, confusing music and everyone that was in my group all had similar ideas. We were all pulling at our hair and scraping at the floor. We then watched each of the groups dance. I thought that this was a really good thing to watch because it showed us how different people interpreted different things within the music.

Mirror, Mirror sounds like it has alot of movement within it, like the voice, that character has to move around mysteriously and in lots of different positions, on the floor (creeping), stretched out etc.


I can't wait until we get the books so that we can start reading through it as a class and then get cast, even though I am very nervous about the casting!
