Use of Medium & Elements :: Drama

Use of Medium & ElementsDuring playing pics from A Dolls House by Henrik Ibsen. We utilizedeuce different types of Styles. naturalistic and Non Naturalistic. Weworked in groups on each style. Naturalistic is a form of gaming whichis realistic. Not many strategies can be utilise doing this form. NonNaturalistic bid can contain many explorative strategies, such as,Hot seating, politic image, and thought tracking.The first style we worked on was Non Naturalistic. We chose to thescene where Krogstad confronted Nora. We made Krogstad ii people totry and show Krogstads power over Nora. We alternated the linesbetween two actors. (Use of spoken language)Krogstad was wrapped in a big black cover song to represent a black jamthat Nora had fallen into. A hole of lies and deceit, towards Torvald.Nora was dressed in white to represent her naturalness that she thoughtshe had. We employ these colours for symbolisation in this production. Thisis a drama medium. exploitation symbolism showed me how different art formsreact with other art forms. (E.g. colour and bridge player) The scriptchanged for me from then on. The white and black was a contrast thatis widely used in the world. White is used for angels black is usedfor hell. White is used for a wedding black is used for a funeral.White is day. sour is night. People are scared of the night but neverthe day.During this scene we used space wisely. Nora moved backwards asKrogstad moved forwards. Using movement Krogstad would fly the blackblanket around over Nora foreland nerve-wracking to suck her under it. Nora wouldback away though trying to resist the dark side. (The offside of thehouse). Towards the end of scene where Krogstad dominates Nora andgets the truth out of her They exchanged blanket. Nora is now wrappedin black, which symbolises the external world and the lies and deceit.It shows the security guard that Nora has no way of escaping what she hasdone.Using Non- Naturalistic drama to produce a sce ne from A Dolls Househelped me understand the script a good turn more. It certainly helped mefigure out how scary the outside world was for Nora and Torvald. Thesymbolism in the blankets were a great help also in line drawing howNora had lied and it had caught up with her. Carrying the blackblanket did help me imagine what the outside world must be like forthe Helmer household. Holding the blanket and go it closer to Norawho was a big sheet of white pure innocence felt quite evil yet
