Pillowman- Day 3 - first scene

Today we finished setting the first scene. The atmospheric music that we planned to open with didn't take shap as we created the first scene. Instead we looked at the proximity of characters and how we were going to perform our roles. We also talked about how we were going to set the stage a bit. We discussed having a simple stage with just a desk and three chairs around it one for Katurian, one for Ariel and one for Tupolski. We also wanted a filing cabinet for visual aids and a desk on wheels with some props on like (pliers, a battery, cables and a saw)

We spent some time looking at the character Ariel and specifically his aggressiveness throughout the scene. We want his anger to ebb and flow to give his input to the scene some dynamics. We felt that if he played it extreme constantly the audience will get bored of it and it will have less of an impact.
