We've looked at tempo-rhythm somewhat in the past but now Siou made us look at it in more detail. She drew this graph on the stage and we had to try out the different stages with some of the lines we have from the play. This really helped to find the certain tempo-rhythm of a certain line, scene or even character, since some tempos just didn't fit with the lines.
Another exercise we did was focusing on the stages 5-7. We started by being told that the goal was to look for a bomb, since there might be one in the room. It was important to stay quite urgent with our actions since it might go of any second. Moving to stage 6 we had to decide either to know that there truly is abomb and act accordingly, or act as in we had just seen virgin mary, or other unnatural beautiful even god-full thing. This stage was all about melodrama, trying to make our emotions and objectives as clear as possible. We would repeat this changing up which of the two choices we wanted to do. Last stage of this was believing that the bomb was going to go off.
With our play the tempo-rhythm should pretty high up the scale between 5-7, to really keep up with the Artaudian approach of trying to lance the abscess. This will especially help with the lunatics we do quite many times in the play and help us keep up the energy.
