In this lesson we had to chose another idea from our mind map to create using one of the techniques. We chose to do slavery as we were pretty sure we would not choose it as our main idea but thought it would be a good theme to workshop as it has lots of scope for pieces that we could incorporate 'control' into. We decided to start on the floor, holding hands (to represent being chained together) as if in a boat after being shipped to a foreign country to be sold and used as slaves. After some contact improvisation between the masters and the slaves I had the idea that the slaves should also do some contact together. I think this would help to emphasize the control that the slaves were under and how there was still hierarchy between the slaves with women being more badly treated than the men. This video shows the short piece of movement we created.
