Ismene Scene - 06.02.17

Making use of the chorus sitting around the stage, we began to choreograph a sequence around Ismene's speech in her scene with Antigone. We were using the passage in which Ismene describes what the city will do to them if they bury their brother Polynices. Chipp decided this would be best to present through a series of lifts reflecting the hands grabbing her and controlling her. Seperating into groups we came up with seperate sequences, our group used a pin lift, to saddle lift, to supported above our heads lift, spinning, back down into a saddle lift then dropped. We decided to combine it with the other group by doing the first half of our sequence and the second half of theirs which was a drop and flip. It looked pretty cool and was a very good experience for learning how to choreograph effective movements to represent a story and the different lifts available to us to do it, I've always been bad at remembering sequences but with drama I feel I'm becoming increasingly better at remembering choreography etc.
