The Curious Incident of The Dog In The Night- Time
Task 1
The exercises we performed during the workshop made us take into account how Christopher Boone distinguishes everyday objects from his perspective. The workshop was incredibly effective as it made us use personification to give emphasis to the objects involved during our production. Incorporating personification helped provide me with a wider variety of acting skills, which I will be able to use for my GCSE production to help create a more dramatic storyline.
Each object had an individual character that reacted differently to certain predicaments. For example, during the group performances we created a journey to London via a train. However, each object incorporated in our performance was made up of a specific character meaning each person involved in our performance performed an object with a particular personality.
We used actors to symbolise objects, instead of props, as it allowed us to explore characters for each object involved in our play. Also, using personification gave us a better understanding of the performance style of the “The Curious Incident of The Dog in the Night Time”, which consisted mainly of actors symbolising everyday objects.
When we had to perform Christopher’s monologue, the specific movements we involved used a range of drama techniques: still image, personification, narrating and cross cutting. All of these techniques helped add depth to the monologue and enabled us to explore each sentence included in the passage. Narration translated the thoughts and emotions that took place in Christopher’s mind, whilst the use of still images and cross cutting created an overview of each sentence which helping the audience to understand the meaning behind the words.
Task 2
The extracts we chose to demonstrate the relationship between Christopher and his Dad represented contrasting depths of emotion. For example, when Christopher says that he “didn’t kill the dog” to his
