This video was one of the first pieces of research that we had found. This is what got the ball rolling in regards to the road we wanted to go down for our piece. This video became inspiration to devise material around the subject of the refugee crisis. We felt this encapsulated the ideas we wanted to work with; that this could be us. Using this as the first stepping stone, we then continued on through our devising process applying similar ideas.
Theatre Company based in Cornwall, UK.
Save the children have done an appeal to help the Syrian refugees and in it they have benedict Cumberbatch is reading a poem about the refugees at the back there is a charity single called help is coming with all the images and videos of all the destruction that is happening.
We looked into people opinion’s about the refugee situation and we found many different opinions some for some against and some that were on the fence about the whole situation. We learned that this whole situation started back in 2011 after 15 children were arrested and brutally tortured for painting an anti-government graffiti the community was outraged and peacefully protested this is what led us to do a protest scene in our performance.
By seeing all the different images we took a few of them to start our devising scenes where we would created a scene through all the images to create one scene.
