The traitor devised Piece !

This session today we were given a piece of paper where we had to devise a piece of drama from one of the titles. It had to include Naturalisim, Realism and detail within the  performance. 
and it had to include laughter enuciation, pace, intonation, projection of the character and emotional investment. Not only had it to include all of them but it had to be believable not PANTO!!!!.. so therefore not flamboyant. In my group they were Kyle Nicole, and I . As we spent 40 Minutes pondering about it, from here we got to work. At first we were in turmoil weather to do another one or stick with the first Idea, as the ideas got passed around Nicole came up with another idea of someone being ill in a hospital bed and the two girlfriends come in and they have never met before, but they instantly clash over the boy. As the idea got thought about we decided to stick with the " Traitor" one. Getting on with the work, our first Idea was  that Nicole caught Kyle and I in an intimate moment, as we thought about it Kyle decided to change it and Nicole be the " Mistress" and I catch them in the moment.
As we pondered over it a while we decided to stick with the first idea because I believed the performance " Magic if" Stanivslavsky Theory" what if this happened to I in real life I believe my action from the performance would be dead real.
we decided on it we then got it on it's feet, trying out new ideas I decided on getting two tables and making it a bed for them. I thought that Kyle should lie down and Nicole go to kiss him, just to add in that effect.
But at the last minute we decided to change it again and go with another idea because the confidence was not there. As we try it another way we decided that Nicole should sit facing Kyle and they should  tell each other how the love for each other is Soo strong.
My que was " I love you Too!" as I  entered  originally I began screaming at them but then  I changed it so that the tension could build  up rather then let the audience viewing it see straight away. Originally I shout up to  Kyle by this time I am half-way up the stairs, opening the bedroom door slowly there I see Nicole and Kyle arguing. Within this scene we used Stanivslavsky " What if" what if I was in that position what would my reaction be like. I believe that today If I was in that position I would act just like that.

As we performed it we did it a bit differently to the others, I.E we kept the reaction the same and the stillness, but the tensioned built and built so when Kyle's character goes to hug me I say very quietly " Don;t Touch me!!!" then I scream at him and then start screaming at Nicole's Character. but that was the only change we did. The rest of the Performance was kept the same. We brought our performance upstage just so that everyone could hear and our projection was a lot clearer.
