Trestle unfinished

Trestle theater is another workshop we did recently. It is mostly mask work, but our work on it was entirely mask work. The masks we were given were a multitude of emotions which we had to try and match. We were made to do bits of improvisation backed by music, before a scene at a wedding. This was helpful to distance ourselves from faces and focus on our physicality. We were then put into groups; mine consisted of myself, Luke, Zach, Lydia and Nikki. We were quick to decide our scenario, that of a late night in a bar. We assigned ourselves characters; me and Zach as two drunken mates, Luke as a barman, Nikki as a creep trying to hit on Lydia who was a girl on her own in the bar. We slowly choreographed a scene around these characters to the tune of  Chelsea Dagger. This came together until we had utilised both crosscutting and mime to make what was, in my mind, a effective performance
