Our warm up in this session aimed to help us become more aware of a sense of time. The first activity consisted playing the game "Elevens" whereby only one person can say a number at a time when counting to eleven. The next consisted of sitting alone and estimating when a minute had passed. After this we were asked to walk around the space and come to a gradual stop as a unit when a minute was over.
Main Activity
We watched a video relating to mechanics and time, and used the monkey talk technique to write out ideas regarding to how this could be translated into a performance.
After feeding back to the group, we had 2 minutes to discuss these ideas and a further 10 minutes to practically explore these.
Above is a video of our response, where we portray the different layers of machinery of a clock. If we were to develop this material further, I would choreograph more movement to mimic the movement of the cogs and mechanics within a clock face. Were we to translate this to stage this could be videoed from various angles and projected one on top of the other to show the layers of the mechanics.
It could be considered how an audience could interact with the performance, potentially becoming an instrument within the production, however this would rely on a great deal of confidence in improvisation, much like in Frantic Assembly.
