Mountain Language



The focus for this week in the young actors was developing physical theatre skills. Using influences from Harold Pinter's Mountain Language, the students looked the differences between city and countryside and created tableaux in small groups. They then added sound-scapes on top to create a full picture. 

The group was then introduced to the idea through teacher in role that the city people had control over the countryside, and they were asked to write lists in their groups on how this could affect both societies. 



The groups then created two different scenes reflecting the social differences between the two societies. This produced some powerful work, as the students really focused upon how this could influence the individual.



ACT CONFIDENT. ACT NATURAL*
