Third Account: 21st September 2015

In today’s lesson we analysed the Bradford Girl trafficking story which one member of our group gave us. We thought that it could be good to use as our storyline as it was very interesting and there were ways we could portray the situation using various drama techniques. For example, Frantic Assembly’s chair duets to symbolise that some men are trying to feel up the victim. Although we had decided to use this for our performance, we didn’t think it was that heavy enough to formulate the whole piece. Thus we thought to base our piece on two individual stories. The first being the Bradford girl and the second being the Nigerian girl online case study that I previously gathered for my group. We also thought of songs that could be included in our piece, we thought that having a light upbeat song against a dark violent scene will make it more effective as the juxtaposition would be so severe. After all of this theoretical work we decided to improvise a opening scene and from there we decided it’ll most probably be in our piece; it is set in a police station interview room where Georgia (our Bradford girl) is being questioned.
