Absurdism.

During this lesson, we took a text from a play by the theatre company 'Frantic Assembly'. The scene we chose involved a woman sitting in a garden and recollecting all of her memories in this garden. It was an interesting text, but in order to develop it, we decided to change the genre, and make it absurdist in style. In order to do this, we had to take the piece and rewrite it, whilst including at least 30% of the original text. This is my edited monologue:

"This garden is the world.
The World is the garden.
Flowers, trees, potatoes, shed, grass, swings, bushes.
Everything that matters is here and happened here and was here and will be here and won't be here.
With Tom, my cousin? Who I kissed? Maybe
Does it count if it's your cousin? Second or first?
Did you know that if you cut the grass in the world, Stella McCrea vomits in the compost."

To perform it in an interesting way, my task was to change the way i spoke whilst performing. In order to do this, i had to speak frantically, as if i was unveiling a governmental secret. 
Overall, i believe that this was an effective task as it further looked into absurdism as a topic and also helped me to see how hugely different my reinterpretations can be, even if they only include 30% of the text.
