finally back on after my internet connection went haywire couldn't connect for a while so there may be some things missing i have to type the second i get home or i will forget like have done for most of the weeks work but heres what i have written down:

so we did abit of trip work for childrens theatre or a panto like situation with the reactions to the trip worked in e.g. shock, vocal reaction, physical or expressive reaction. the reactions we worked most on was confusion, shock, annoyance and many others in this piece we also had a narrator who would ask the audience to warn anyone about to fall over; for example the loose floorboard which the first added characters would miss and then the last person would fall over it (alternatively the first added characters could fall and the last who isn't paying attention could step over it which would also add comedy value) added characters could be of any number but lower the better as if there are too many it could become boring for the audience as the audience interaction is very important. The situation to what the people fall over could change for example tree roots, floorboards, logs, shoelaces. In a earlier exercise we had to react to the situation of a kingdom where it was illegal to tie your shoe laces out in public and the audience had to warn them but you also had to pretend you didn't know the audience was there at first.
