As a group we are focusing on true stories from either our own experiences, however all of these stories in some way end up been about love in some way or another. Perhaps this was simply because everyone followed by example or is it something we as a group are heavily focused on? We’re all in our early to mid twenties and coming to the end of our university lives. Many of us are thinking of our futures and the people we love and if they will be coming with us or going our separate ways.
This is a prominent thought in all of our minds, so we decided to base our performance entirely on love. We have begun by creating our first episode called ‘The Electrician’ which was created by merging two stories. One by Emily, who told one of her grandparents and one I told of my personal life. We created a silent section (or at least no dialogue), that would rely on physical theatre and would be set in a 1940’s where two people would meet and fall in love, it would quickly move through their lives in a comical fashion.
