DPA- Dr. Faustus -3&4

Within todays lesson we began physically working on the Seven Deadly Sins section from the play. Within the original script each sin would be presented by a different actor and would therefor naturally have a unique approach behind the physicality of each of these sins. As we do not have enough actors to show each sin we have decided to work as a group to present them, by working as a group we are enabled to have more variation in what we are able to do due to the pure strength in numbers. For inspiration, we decided to look into some different physical theatre companies to see if there were any movements that we could adapt to fit into any of the seven sins.
Within the video that is linked below I found many different movements that I think have the potential to work in our piece if we were to adapt them to better show whatever sin we are showing, for example if we were to be showing lust, we would just slow the movements and make sure that there is always a focus on touch or at least skin.

The first part of this where they were laying and moving there arms in unison, created an enticing feel in which the audience can quickly be emerged.
