Adding layers to create a character

By this stage, I have a clear conceptual idea for my final group piece. Most of the parts will be choreographed collaboratively, however I know there will be at least 2 solo sections so I have begun working on them. Here is my process...

STAGE 1
Create movement inspired by being 'HAPPY'

• sun
• warm
• summer
• content

STAGE 2
Add physical state

• Hot = dehydrated, exhausted, uncomfortable

• Being poked = manipulated, annoyance, shoved

• Ticklish = manic, see another character, less control

• Cramped = on the tube, old person, baby dinosaur

STAGE 3
Choose physical states that lean towards my end goal and expand them
END GOAL = movement piece that shows being forced to be happy

UNCOMFORTABLE - SHOVED - ON TUBE - DEHYDRATED

STAGE 4
Add an intention
e.g. to not laugh, to be still, to be seen, to be bold, to be hidden, to patronise. 
Explore one contrasting to movement and one matching

STAGE 5
Develop rhythm/sound/text
