Pillowman - Lesson 6 & 7 - 13/11/2015 & 20/11/2015

For these past few weeks Dan has been off of school due to an operation on his nose which means that we can’t really continue with any rehearsals that include Ariel and Tupolski.

On the 13th November, I spent most of my time thinking about what the Pillowman might look like. I have come up with two different ideas. The first one was a ‘cute’ or friendly looking Pillowman. I also kept on thinking of the character from the Disney Pixar film ‘Big Hero 6’.

My other idea was that the Pillowman is a sinister looking man who wears a pillowcase over his head and wears it like a mask. The lips would be stitched together and make a chilling smile and his buttoned eyes would be loose to show that he’s been through a lot and maybe has a rough time trying to get a child to end their life. Also the pillow would be slightly torn which again could show that he has had a bit of a struggle.


On the 20th November our group has decided to move on to act 2 which includes Ashley and Tom talking about the story of ‘The Pillowman’ and ‘The Little Green Pig’ stories. Whilst the two of them have been acting, I took on the role of directing parts of the scene. When I wasn’t working with them, I would be designing a model of the Pillowman in my own interpretation.
