Just a gentle musing for now. We have been working with Toby Jones this week, exploring the impulse in making work. Asking questions about beginnings and ends, the importance of breath and overall simplicity, clarity of thought and of expression. Theatre exists in the imagination of the audience, who will always make bold connections inconceivable at times during the making of any performance work. Furthermore, with the addition of sound, text and physical action there is already a strongly coded semiotic language on the charged area defined as stage and the audience can always be trusted to decode and discover their own multiple meanings...
There is also something interesting about the presence of objects in the room, something Alex mentioned in our first few sessions, today I noticed this stack of newspapers, somewhat discreet in the corner of the room and yet I cannot ignore my own interest in keeping newspapers in our work - indeed the strongest moment of drama from today's 30 second project was the throwing to the ground of a newspaper by Liz in the street outside of Central.
