Combat scene

     My scene is where I'm someone that skip her court date and know I have a bounty hunter after me.
     It is fun to do a fight scene but the requirements for the fight made it a challenge to over come and make a good fight scene that looks good but ridicules at the same time.
     At the same time, havering a partner that seems not to be excited about the idea of beating up a girl makes it tough to work with. Meaning having to remind him that he won't hurt me for real nor will I hurt him as long as we do the technique correctly.

Combat practice

     Relearning combat techniques for theatre is always fun. In theatre hand to hand combat is most likely done without contact, though there is some theaters that do with contact. Doing a fight without contact means that when you hit, punch or kick you do not actually touch them depending on where your audience is. You most likely want your audience to you victimless back since most of the techniques would be block by your victims body. If that is not the case improvise with your nap/ noise for the slaps and punches.

Paired Pantomime Death Tragedy Scene

     The Death tragedy scenes was way to introduce the combat section as well as work on how to fall and think of clever and funny ways to die.
     Everyone's scene was funny in their own way. Either because it could or has happen to someone or that it is so out there that if it did happen everyone would be in shock at the irony that just took place. For example, a pair did a scene about a date going all wrong for the guy and the girl is just trying to have a good time. This scene could happen and for the most part probably has to someone.  Another example is my scene with Olivia, where she is the old lady feeding birds and i am someone pasting out flyers/bibles and get attack by the birds because i wouldn't leave her alone and she started to throw the bird seed at me. This is a good for yeah it could happen, but i doubt it and if it did we all just be outsiders looking in at it like well that was ironic.
