In this workshop, we will be focusing on the scene ‘Mother’. With this scene, I wanted to not only do I want to focus on the mother and child relationship but understand how close they will be on stage. The image I have in my head is the child is playing a video game, too distracted to hear what anyone says and the mother gets closer and closer to explain who she really is. We tried to see if the ‘child’ is sitting on the block and looking towards the audience majority of the time until the mother reveals herself. We tried to see if the mother walks in the living room setting or even a bedroom. When trialing that a few times we decided to have even greater proximity and get the mother to be in the lightbox. It did not seem realistic but once trialing it, we realised how well it works, and to see the mother get frustrated and get closer to the child seems much more naturalistic. From an audience perspective, it seemed way more fun and innovative using a place that is hardly used before. This workshop was useful as we discovered different ways of showing relationships between characters
