In the past I explored the play Blood Wedding by Federico Garcia Lorca. The play was interesting to explore as it portrayed aspects of life in Spain in the early 1900’s which is very different to life now. The main theme in the play was the actions of people and consequences they face because of blood feuds.
First we were told a simpler version of the play and asked to make a movement piece about a man and woman who met and fell in love. In the movement we had to make sure that we were always connected to our partner with either backs or heads together and the movement then had to be able to be looped.
This is the movement I performed with Sarah. The story behind our movement is about the two meeting by chance and becoming friends and then overtime developing a more complex and devoted relationship with each other: never wanting to leave each other no matter what they go through. I like the way we built up our characters growing closer to show a deeper understanding of the relationship and our starting and ending positions were very similar making it easy to loop our piece. If we were to do this exercise again I think it would have been a good idea to make our hand contact more interesting as the relationship developed because it could symbolise how they would grow to know everything about one another and begin to fully trust them.
