Directorial Concept...

Style	Design needs	Costume	Proxemics
Our piece hopes to follow the Stanislavskian system within the ‘Theatre of Realism’. This means that we ideally want there to be clear evidence of the system being used within our performance in order for us to make it believable to the audience.	Our piece is designed so that the focus of the stage is John’s desk, scatter with papers and pens etc. Behind it is his simple chair and on stage right is Carol’s chair. This does give the impression of being in a n office however it is only a minimalistic set because of the time constraints that we are under	Because John is a professor he will be wearing a shirt, trousers, black shoes, tie and glasses. He needs to look smart yet slightly dishevelled due to all of the stress he is under. Carol will be wearing a red t-shirt, blue jeans and sneakers with her hair in a ponytail. We hope that the red will insight feelings of aggression and will subtly symbolise her power in the scene.	Because of the tension that we want to create in our scene we will have John and Carol seated away from each other however in the heat of their argument and as their tempo rhythms rise; we will be brought close together.
