Schizophrenic - In this scene we basically all act as the voices in Carl's head, so we all surround him then break off into a line where we repeat a movement sequence referring to the control and frustration inside his head. Then we pass Carl along the line making him adopt our personality with simple movement that we make him do in a puppeteer way, then we all spread out and again start a repetitive simple movement that we all follow from Carl that is all to do with his head. After this has built up Carl looks around and is overwhelmed by everything in his head and screams which is a common occurrence for his character.
Electric chair - this scene was primarily dialogue but we decided to add some simple movement to make it more interesting. It involves four of us imitating the movements of either Kyle or the doctors and references to his not being able or wanting to speak.
Seven Devils - this is the movement piece that we started devising when we initally had the mental patient idea. All of us are sitting around the room on chairs, when the singing on the track starts we come to life and have 8 jagged movements reaching out to the audience. We then do some simple movement like turning and banging our chairs in unison, then we move around onto different chairs. For inspiration for part of the movement I watched some music videos which featured some contemporary steps which is where I got the idea for the reaching section which we repeated. Here is the video of seven devils.
