Miss cordell single 19th October

Today we looked at lots of different topics within our women's rights idea. I came in with a new idea because I thought our old one with just women on the frontline was a bit bland. We couldn't really do very much with it technique wise. And I hadn't really brought much to the table where ideas are concerned. So I came in today with the migration idea. I want to create a piece that has a powerful effect on the audience leaving them thinking about the story. I also think that we could look into feminisation in migration. To link it to women's rights. 

We still kept the idea of having the women fighting in the front line. But we are going to try to cram lots of different stories into one. This way the audience won't get bored because there will always be something new to think about. 

Another major factor in women's rights was getting the vote. A good source is the film sufreggette which I just recently watched. It shows how women lost there life's fighting for the right to vote. How they rebelled and protested and finally won. 

Here's the page I was researching on. During the lesson we also started working on a little movement sequence. We decided to look into human trafficking. We had theo at the front saying things like "come to England". "We will pay for you to stay and work". Then we showed Ellie being carried to her "salvation" but then being used by the people that she trusted. Using physical contact improvisation techniques and other types of lifts. It's looking quite hard hitting aswell for the audience as we use hair pulling stage violence and other emotionally powerful movements
