knife dance scene

When we went to see Let the right one in, at the Apollo theater in London. The cast done a very interesting interpretive movement piece involving knives. When we started to rehearse let the right one in, we decided that we would draw inspiration from the West end version and develop our own interpretive knife movement. We have the music from the official trailer of let right one in as an undertone for the scene as we use this to keep in time with one another. Similar to the west end show, ours starts off with Oskar alone stabbing a tree. But as when he does the set of movements three times, two people join in, then when they have done the movement three times two more cast members join in and so on until the whole cast except Eli is involved in the movement. Everyone except Eli is in the scene and this suggests to me that we are all still our characters and the reason we are all doing the movement is to represent that as a town we are all scared of the murderer and want to be able to defend ourselves if we come face to face with him. This is pointless as whenever one of our characters comes in contact with the murderer we arent able to defend ourselves at all and this is shown by the death of Jocke right at the start and when Micke almost dies but Mr Avilia breaks down the door in time to save Micke. I personally really enjoy doing these movement pieces and I am looking forward to developing and rehearsing them in the future.
