Natural vs Performance

In this weeks lesson i really learnt how different  a piece of physical theatre is or movement when you are working from a neutral instinct and then a planned movement.

This week we looked at frantic assembly and took two of their devising techniques. The first was the organic and honest movement, where two people interact and go with an instinct within them. The other a reversed and planned set of movements that come one after the other. It was really interesting to see how people when planning their movements were lost for ideas and often didn't know what movement to do and had to think really hard about what their next position would be, however when we did the natural moment snuggles technique no one was lost for finding movement because the movements all came naturally.
