I know the difference between right and wrong and I know for a fact that what I did wasn't wrong. The murders were all a part of my fantasies, I already had the scripts. I just need those two to help me fulfil my dreams. If they refused to give me what I want, I was going to take it by force. I was going to strip them of their dignity if I had to.
The reason why I abused my powers as a doctor are personal and private to me, and I'm never going to give that up. You will never know the know the truth. All I can say is that I have been killing people for years. In some ways I guess you could call me a psychopath because I needed harts.
It was the killing - the point of death - the harts - that interested me.
When we started devised practical work our teacher showed us clips for The Nightmare before Christmas, he then showed use a practitioner called Antonin Artaud and how he brought he work to life by creating the Theatre of Cruelty; his theory was that theatre should represent reality and, therefore, affect the audience as much as possible, therefore he used a mixture of strange and disturbing forms of lighting, sound, and other performance elements.
ReplyDeleteAs well as working with Antonin’s theory we were asked to base our performance of Timothy Burton’s The Nightmare before Christmas and used the character profiles as our background as a starting point.
To help use get an idea on how to be successful with this unit, we were shown videos via YouTube of multiple A-level performance, for example, 4.48 Psychosis. After watching 4.48 Psychosis it made me realize that we had to push are selfless beyond our comfit zone, as well as the audience.
