This week has been one of the most important weeks so far. Director Dwain has already started writing the script for our new idea that has adopted a lot of the work we had already done. It is set in a modern office and we are going to explore the delusions or daydreams of all the people working within the office setting instead of staging the delusions of love as we had originally planned. This has enabled us to keep our show name and poster design for Kalopsia. We are aware that this change has put us slightly behind schedule so I have worked with producer Jay and Director Dwain to come up with a more intensive rehearsal schedule to keep us on track. We have also set a date for the script to be finished so all the actors have enough time to learn their lines. We have kept the ‘silent movie scene’ as our opening delusion and have simply adjusted it slightly to fit our new characters and storyline. The new idea has also led us to rethink who we are as a company. The office narrative that runs throughout the play is going to take the form of a traditional play format, however, for each of the delusions we want to experiment with different styles of performance. As our choreographer is a dancer we are hoping to experiment with this style in one of the delusions. Therefore, we aim to make Kalopsia as a whole a fusion of traditional and modernist theatre styles. We feel this gives us a more unique selling point in terms of any future applications to Arts Council England as well. We hope that this fusion will draw in different audience demographics. For example, the traditional comedy style of the office scenes will draw in the ‘trips and treats’ category as well as the ‘Facebook families’ and ‘up our street’ groups. At the same time, the contemporary style of the delusions will appeal to the ‘Metroculturals’ and ‘commuterland culture buffs’. The fusion will also mean we are introducing certain audience members to more contemporary styles of theatre that they might not otherwise choose to go and see.
