Score & Construction

08.08.2022

Today, I looked at the threads I have running through my show, two of them being construction and Cornwall. I aimed to have a section that brought them together, in order to break the separate episodic pattern that precedes it. From this, I created the text 'Construction of a Pasty'.

Today I wrote out the order of the score so far so that I could see what sections need cleaning/finishing. I've been writing the score out in list form and this is how it stands currently:

Dad 1

Narrator 1

Movement 1

Chair 1

Siren

Dad 2

Construction of a pasty 

Movement 2

Chair 2

Narrator 3

Dad 3

​

I then went on to focus on my motif movement sequence. I rehearsed and cleaned some of the choreography. I wanted it to have elements of manual labour in so I took inspiration from construction workers and sailors for gestures such as lifting and pulling. In this video, I added voice and heaving sounds to see if it richened the movement. I have realised that I like the voice and breath, particularly, on the heavier actions.

​

I intend to use this sequence three times in the show, but as the sequences go on, the movements are weaker and incomplete. This should manifest due to high power movements I will include between. Overall, I hope for this to represent the rigorous world of work of today.
