Rehearsal progress 5

We created the story of envy in lesson today which is tom’s characters past life. This is a movement piece to the song “Maps” by Maroon 5 showing Tom’s struggle up the business world and how he lost everything. This piece starts with tom entering and shaking Toby’s and Dom’s hand, they then lift them up on to their shoulder, spin around then drop him. The two walk forward then turn to try and push Tom back as he walks forward, he then knocks them out of the way but then notices there taking drugs. All 3 start to do 4 theist pumps, tom going forward, Dom and Toby going backwards they the run at tom, throwing him backwards. Tom tries to run back but they throw him on his knees then push him to the ground as they walk away. Tom mimes doing work around the office while Toby and Dom sink in time with the beat. The story then changes to a rival in the company and we see his rise to the top of the company in a similar way but being sly and deceitful.  I enter and shake Dom’s and Toby’s hand then try to worm my way through them, I then turn and try to push them back. I then repeat the theist pump and then notice Tom, I try to get rid of him as I stop him and point to the exit but he knocks me away. I start to make friends with the boss as Tom sinks into the ground until I throw him out. Tom then goes of into an envy dance until he goes up to me and stabs me, which is where it ends. The purpose of this scene is it helps the audiences to understand Tom’s character as you see what he has gone through and see why he is in this strange place. This piece also helps to show the audience Tom’s sin of envy which is what our play is about for each of the characters transformation into the giants

our final scene we created was our ending where they are all back on the island with all their memory backs. Dom then starts talking about how he died, at first Tom and Toby think he has lost his mind but shortly they relies that they had died as well. Each of them panic and scream for help until I enter as Hades, they each then to find out what is going on but with my powers I whisper there sin which forces them to fall to the ground. I then say "you are my giants" which cause a light to go on at the back making us seem like a silhouette, I then use my arms to them mould the 3 of them together (Tom on Toby's shoulders and Dom behind them) so they look like a 6 armed giant. our piece ends with me whispering "you are mine forever"
