#Episode 4 - cave scene

I re-choreographed the Episode #4 which includes the 'cave', where we orginally curved over Antigone to formulate a cave-like structure. This wasn't effective enough and needed more movement as we were stationary there throughout this whole section
I will explain the use for some of the movement:


  • Stand in semi circle around Antigone with backs facing the front: this was a much neater and our backs t Antigone reflected her loneliness and isolation in her cave
  • Peel off in pairs on specific word in line, walk around the space behind Antigone and everytime you come into contact with your partner, you perform an action/gesture in relation to the word: For example, the word "drag" could be interpreted by leaning out with your partner as if you are being dragged to your "death", as Antigone says. I think this was a good concept as Antigone's powerful monologue of her accepting her fate is emphasised through the movements reflecting the key points e.g "drag...stand...tears...eye of fire... fate". The peel off also symbolises her life slowly disintegrating, diminishing, leaving just the shell of Antigone who remains in the front centre.
