Developing the narrative

 

We started to develop the story/narrative of the forest and what will be said and done in the forest. We developed the narrative from the first house into the clearing and how the children/audience will move within the space. We worked on what we can get the children to say as a recording that we can play as they travel through the space and also the sounds that can be played, the clearing was where we developed most of the story with looking possible ways of creating forest sounds and how this can be achieved.

Hansel and Gretel also acted out the parts within the space and how this helped the story and flow of the narrative, we developed the idea of how to move the trees to allow it to seem as if they were getting lost, this moved into people being inside the trees animating them whilst the actors moved around.
