How did you explore victim and violence?As an assessed drama piece based on Domestic Violence, the separate Iwas in explored victim and violence by using a number of explorativestrategies and drama mediums. In the play, we explored the feeling ofbeing a victim of violence and how a victim of violence becomes aviolator. The play that we performed was based on dickens key words fromthe song, female genital organ the Wall by Tracy Chapman. The two words arevictim and violence. The plays main theme is irony.The play revolves around two characters that used to attend schooltogether. One of the characters, Catherine vie by Bronwyn, had a beginning status at school and was always bullied. The other character,Kevin played by Sean, was a bully and therefore had a high status.However, as time passes Kevin becomes a low status character andCatherine evolves into a high status character. This results in thebullied person now being the bully and ane day meeting the characterwho bullied h er through childhood. There is also a waiter played byOliver, and a waitress - played by Joelle.The starting line scene was set in a modern day, British caf. To make theaudience aware of the setting, a still image was used as the fountof the play. The still image consisted of 2 chairs facing distributively other,one down re-create left and one up stage right. In front of each chair wasa main character. The high status character, Catherine, was placed infront of the chair down stage left. Catherine stood in a slouchy strength and her hair a mess. This gave the audience a clue thatCatherine was of a higher status. The low status character, Kevin, wasplaced in front of the chair up stage right. Kevin stood with his headpositioned towards the floor. The reason the low status character wasplaced backstage was to give the audience a hint of the characterssocial status. This is because a stereotypical low status person ismore likely to blend into the background of a caf than sit near thefront window to be viewed by passing pedestrians. Behind each chair,facing down stage, was a waiter/waitress. The movements of the waiterand waitress were performed synchronistical. This means that they bothwalked to the table at the same time and both intercommunicate at the same time.This was used to show that the waiter and waitress were of equalstatus and relevantly insignificant in the play.The two characters of the play are bring to pass contrasts.
