Feeling a bit guilty about the last post. It is Julia's space, and I spent time complaining to her about Chris tidying me up all the time. They were doing me a favour allowing me to stay in their space...I just got used to being in the flat on my own. Heaven help me if I do move to my parents house after 6 months of absolutely my own space. I think I'm going to like living on my own, perhaps a little too much!
Took some of my things to the flat last night, and discovered that they have given me the wrong keys! Waaa! Still homeless, living outta suitcase...I feel like I smell.
Gonna call the landlords now, get the keys sorted out and then maybe I can go back to Dunfermline for Tuesday and Wednesday day.
Term started today - we did this weeks room allocation so I have untill Friday to come up with a plan for some practical exercises to use in my space. I think I might buy a Wendy House and video myself putting it together (I can always take it back once I dismantle it). There is definately something in building and construction.
* Idea: For title and style of performance: Hoose and Hame Magazine. Using the style (Rrrrr, Standard Grade Drama!) of Drama Documentary, creating episodic 'articles' (can feature characters) about homemaking, the notion of Home, homelessness, Home affairs etc
NB: It might be better to just title the piece 'Hoose and Hame' as it is more vague and generic
Off into Action,
Same time tomorrow? Probably not.

It turned out to be very difficult to create the characters for this 'magazine' idea. I think this may have worked better with a group performance task where people bring different skills to character building...in the end the characters I created for the final production where much more organic rather than prescriptive.
I think that one of the reasons it was hard to create these characters was because we don't tend to do building characterisation in this straightforward way on the CTP course. I needed a model, of which there are loads (I could have used the Mike Leigh technique of basing the characters on somebody real!)
I suggested to Brian and Roxy that we might do a session together to create or develop characters, but this never came about.
