Linking Our Scenes

Much as Dan's scenes are a super base for us I really think that we as a cast need to be putting some input into them.

I also think that we desperately need something to link the scenes in the 12 minute piece. Each of the Suspect Culture pieces we've seen have in some way had a fairly linear and narrative link and yes, we mention the puzzle, and yes they are all derived from our ideas about homesickness, but I don't feel a real story line which I think is hindering us somewhat in trying to use SC's techniques.

It also means that we are unable to work on actual characters very well.

Maybe if we repeated a line in each piece (using repetition like SC) maybe a line about a utopian home (as SC use ideals a lot) and made the characters the same few people (like in Mainstream) using costume (eg a hat or scarf over the pj's). These are two simple ideas that would make our lives a whole lot easier, and the audiences as they would then have a plot to follow instead of a jumble of scenes as it is at the moment!

Think about it, it makes sense!!
