Our original idea was not based around one single extract. It was based around the entie book, rather than just a single section. We primarily thought that this was fine, but after research, we discovered that we needed to base the reinterpretation over just one section. We looked at extracts, but thought that our original idea was far too complex, and wide-spread.
However, we decided to keep the basis of our idea, and have decided on these themes:
- Changing class.
- Manipulation.
- Maybe some gender equality.
Also, we have decided to keep the idea that the lowest class is robots, but they are more sophisticated rather than just machines. Because of this, Eliza is still a robot, but is having to face manipulation in a different way- they are going to try and 'fix' her. She will begin in sync with the rest of her class, but she will malfunction, and she will be discarded from her 'friends'. This will perhaps have a deeper meaning, such as mental illness or physical disability. We will physicalise this, and we can create a section of physical theatre that presents the divide between Eliza and her class.
Finally, in this lesson we began devising a small opening scene in which we introduce Eliza and the themes of our performance.
