Their has to be a giving and taking between the people. You have to offer the other actors something and in return they offer you something. It could be a feeling and action or whatever comes natural in the moment. It is important to have imaginative reason when creating a character and relationship, you have to a be able to justify why your character may behave in a certain way or have negative feelings towards another character. Be creative in the way you view and interact with the whole cast. Have an opinion. A visceral performance.
A fear of change always lingers throughout the play that is why everyone is so desperate to survive and stay stable in an ever changing world. None of the power that anyone has gained within the play is permanently. The power is in the balance and things could turn very quickly.
This animalistic and primal behaviour has to come from within you, an anchor in the belly. We can't fake it as it creates a un-justified, weak performance. It is important that we connect with this sense of survival in a truthful way and visit these feelings of hate and fear in rehearsals and on stage.
The movement work is going to be more expressive than realistic. I understood that if we are living in a world that is surreal to us and to the audience, why try and rein- act fighting realistically. Creating movement which is artistic and interruptive continues to bring the audience into a world that is totally different to the world we are living in now which is exactly what we aim to do. Expression, freedom and art needs to run through our lines too. Being creative and honest with our words, using all of our body and voices.
