Today we decided that we would do Iron Hans because Luke was there and people needed a good part in order to get a better grade within the course.
We went through the task brief and now have a new date for our final performance which is July 1st. Our performance will be to a year 7 class in the school space.
No one could decide who would direct Iron Hans because the main director wasn't in school and he doesn't do his work anyway and didn't care when we originally cut the play. So as a class we did decide to have our teacher direct us.
Miss quickly set up a stage area without any ideas. Although we did try to have some input in with the play but we weren't allowed because we weren't directing.
This is where the First King will sit at the start of Iron Hans. The Huntsmen will walk up to the King and around the audience when they get lost in the forest. This can also be used as a spring or be turned around to show the blue screen which matches the screen behind the cage and then turned around when the Boy goes to the spring.
This is Iron Hans' cage in the centre of the front of the stage so the audience can see him. When we aren't acting on stage we will sit beside the cage and then step up when we are acting and have something to say.
I personally don't like us sitting on the stage when the piece is going on because it may take the atmosphere out of the play and the audience would possibly be more focused on us than the actors actually acting at the time.
We are using the two blocks for the huntsmen to stand on whilst looking into the spring. Some people did just jump on George who was playing Iron Hans to capture him. Although this ended up in George with three people on him and then falling to the floor. But this was good for the piece and shows that men will just jump on someone and not be afraid to throw themselves into something even when they don't know what it is and it is the one thing that has been making people go missing.
