Claire and Periplum

during the first few workshops we have worked with Claire Raftery of Periplum theatre company.

the company is based in brighton and performs a range of site specific productions all over the world. Claire Worked with us from the point of view of a director showing us what directors may be looking for when workshopping actors. she also explained to us about how Periplum was using technology with their perfomances and what ways we could do this. one of the activites we carried out was in pairs recording a very short ( under a minute) film and then portraying something that may give the audience more understanding, contrast or baffle in exactly the same space. then give our audience the films on mobile devices and watch the filmed and live perfomance at the same time. i found this activity particularly interesting because i like working with film and found it to be an interesting method of adding another level to the story. when we had finished working with claire in the first few weeks she left us a challange of making a film for her upon her return. one of the other performers and i have created the following film.
