Pillowman- Day 4 - Act 2

Today we started to put together Act 2, we talked about the set and decided to keep it simple again. We wanted to use a block to establish a small stage (cell) for us to perform in, we also wanted to only have a couple of pillows for Michael to sleep on and one for Kataurian to kill Michael with at the end of the scene. We also wanted to do something cool with the lighting to help establish the setting. We discussed having a spotlight kind of thing lighting the block and part of the stage in front, but have gaps in the light to give a barred window effect so the audience know we are in a cell.

We again looked at proximity of the characters and discussed a bit on how the relationship between Kataurian and Michael differs from Kataurian and the detectives (Ariel and Tapulski). We then discussed how this relationship differentiation affects the proximity during the performance.
