Transitions 39 steps

Transitions throughout the performance are quick. And kept to a minimum. We only really every brought on one different object to display a different scene or location. For example when Hanny and Pamela are coming up to do the Fence scene. Tom was late to the stage with the fence. This wasn't supposed to happen. And when he eventually ran out with the fence. He tripped over and kicked one of the legs off. Which managed to get an earthquake of laughter from the audience. We all found this absolutely hilarious because Tom ended up having to stand onstage holding the fence. The performance was so funny we ended up making a transition a comedy sketch in itself.

Another thing we did was use the same object for different scenes. We just quickly moved it around. The table at the start of the performance was a Sherrifs desk. Placed in the middle of the stage. It was then later moved over to the other side of the stage during a quick scene change to be the table in the hotel reception. Soon after this scene it was again pushed up stage right. To become a bed. 

I can't really remember any other transitions in our act that we performed. Although we managed to make a car out of four chairs which was very amusing. We stylised very well because when the car was turned on. We all started bouncing around as if we were in an old car. Winding up and down the windows making squeaking noises. This was a good transition. It was mad funny in the end of the scene when Toby and Tom end d up just stacking the chairs up on top of each other and walking off. 

The simplicity of our transitions had an increasingly good impact on the play itself. There was always something to watch and find amusing. Even through transitions
