Today was more researching looking into the Lee Rigby a man who was slaughtered in the streets by the Islamic State supporters which they filmed this and had people watching in the streets. Rob is going to be doing a monologue as one of the people who saw this all happen Danny Cornelius this is some research about it:
"A man haunted by seeing Lee Rigby hacked to death in the street was found hanged, an inquest heard. Danny Cornelius, 38, was described as an isolated man during the hearing. Unemployed, single and childless, he would often stay at his grandparents' home in Elwill Way, Istead Rise, Gravesend. The court heard that he was a victim of two armed robberies as a young man. Firstly as a teenager, his gold chain was stolen at knifepoint, and on another occasion just a couple of years later he was forced to withdraw money from a cashpoint and hand it over, on both occasions by young black men. After that he began to suffer with paranoid schizophrenia, and when his friends started to get married and have children he became disconnected from them."
We also looked at doing abortion having a couple that can't have a baby so their friends is going to have their baby but she finds out that could die if she has the baby so if she could get an abortion. But we thought that it may be difficult to portray and don't want the audience to get confused or feel offence to it.
Then we did begin talking and trying to come up with a physical theatre scene for domestic violence scene having a couple having arguments but making it different and trying to link this in that it can haunt you forever so we discussed that they don't have a good relationship behind closed doors but in front of friends are act like they are fine. I am still finding it difficult coming up with ideas that are different from that has been done in a lot devised pieces trying to come up with original ideas but they are based around something. Next lesson we all need to focus on how we might carry on with this or try and come up with a piece on the Lee Rigby story.
