Last night myself and the company dramaturg Rachael went to see Out of Joint’s Crouch, Touch, Pause, Engage at Lincoln Performing Arts Centre. Director Max Stafford created a thrilling piece of work. As it was based on verbatim it was great to see the verbatim presented in a creative way. One voice way multi-rolled, the prop of a rugby ball was used to represent a bag of chips, and a shirt showed a representation of Gareth ‘Alfie’ Thomas’.
Today we gave this feed back to the company so that we could embrace Out of Joints creativity with props and costume. In our production the shoes are to represent a different individual. And from now on, no shoe is just a shoe, it will have a purpose to be there. We also reported the use of tone and the importance when in Verbatim scenes to be transferred to our piece.
