For the final last weeks of the module, we managed to finalise a complete run-though performance. The entire piece sums up the main elements of which we have been building upon throughout the module: love, family, fear, loneliness, night, day, dream, father, daughter. It was such a good feeling to be able to do a finalise the piece by putting everything we had done over the past two semesters together. The class morale boosted massively - we felt so proud that we could perform and finish such a powerful and imaginative piece.
The piece finishes with the powerful reality that the whole story of the piece was just a dream. The daughter makes up, and everyone else in the piece walks casually off stage talking in rhubarb - it appropriately mirrors the opening of the piece. This truly highlights the imagination behind both the characters and the performance; all in all the power showing within the daughter's feeling towards her father, which is portrayed all in the dream. This piece of theatre had been imaginative, powerful, physical, emotional, and effective in the way that it has provoked such a strong response to both the performers and audience. I want to truly thank my module leader, Anna, for introducing to us such a entrancing area of theatre and performance. It brought the group closer together, both physically and emotionally, and overall gave us in return an excellently magical performance.
