SWED 1

The research as a group that we have covered for our devised piece of Pool (no water) are:

  • The physical effects of drugs - to help with the characterisation of our characters and the habits of our characters
  • Mark Ravenhill - To get a background of the writer of this play and see if his life experiences contribute to the development and writing of this play.
  • 90's British act YBAs - Probably the characters in this play are from this group, so by researching this we could understand more about society at the time the play was written and how our characters may be.
  • 90's clothing trends - To help with the costume of our performance
The themes of our performance:

  • Loss
  • Drugs
  • Pool
  • Friendship
  • Jealousy
  • Spitefulness
  • Daring
  • Hatred
  • Death
  • Effects
  • Aftermath
To make a start of our performance we edited the script down and then focused on scenes that we agreed were key moments of the performance. We decided we wanted to incorporate a lot of physical movement in these key moments so we wanted to focus on lifts. (calypo)
