The role of the woman?
17/3/11 to 24/3/11
So for me these last rehearsals, have posed the question what is the role of the woman in the space? we have developed our roles of the children and we have all looked at there history. i am victoria one of the middle children she was 26 when her father died.
Oona's wiki sight helps fill in the numbers

in some way w are all trying to act as we think the children would have in the funeral, which is very odd as normally in our performances we try to avoid 'acting' so to speak. now however we have this new scene where the girls all try to woo a symbol of Chaplin ( as a comment on his popularity with the ladies). This is problematic though as now we are both sex interests and children to him... witch is straying into some what rocky territory. although we could justify it slightly as al ot of the women Chaplin married and or wooed were a little to young for comfort.
I suggested we steal an image i seen in another performance to show how much Oona missed the man she loved.
here is a trailer for 'Slava's Snow Show' where i took it from. its the part where he makes the coat come to life (sort of).
