Life is dull, only drama is colourful.
Monday, May 26, 2008
Today I met with Mrs. Kamal to convince her about my interest in devised work with a proper concept.
I spoke with her about the concept of the occupational beggar and how I felt that the folks down at the underpasses and at the coffeeshops could be fakes and doing this just for a living rather than because they were in dire need of the money.
Mrs Kamal seemed interested in the idea and asked more. However, the idea got more or less rejected when she asked if i had the resources and the emotional and mascular memory for the devising process. The pool of resources I have for such a performance is very limited and unless i'm able to go through the process of interviewing such a person to get into their psyche, it will be extremely difficult for me to do a strong performance.
Reflecting on what Mrs Kamal said, i felt that the purpose of the meeting was not met. I did not manage to convince Mrs Kamal i was capable of doing devised work. However I gained more insight about the requirements of devising. Even if the meeting felt awkward and unpleasant, I felt that the message of the meeting was brought across as I now realize what more I need to do.
After much thinking, with the difficulty of doing a piece on the life of a beggar, i looked around for more inspiration for my devising process. On taking a walk around the school, I saw a cleaner toiling about in her daily chores. I was inspired by the fact that the cleaner was working very hard for our benefit. I told Mrs Kamal in a rather post-script manner about cleaners and she agreed with the idea. Now I need to work hard at getting my ideas out.
I plan to interview a cleaner.
