Week 3 -Performance Timeline & stylistic elements.

Time
1 MIN - Audience enters and the guards will shout at them to cause shock and panic.

Opinion- I believe that this will bring the audience straight into the play and make them understand immediately that this is a different segment of the play. 

2 MIN - Bring in the detainees and cavity check. We have the cavity check to make the audience feel              vulnerable and stay true to what really happens

Opinion- This can create fear in the audience and I think this is a good way to show what used to happen. 

3 MIN - Cavity check and American National Anthem. We use the national anthem to show that America is involved and to add irony to the scene because of the context of the national anthem.

Opinion- I think that National Anthem being used in the performance will be ironic because it will show how the National Anthem is not as good and sacred as once thought, while also showing how proud and brave the American National Anthem shows they are. 

4 MIN - Torture scene. To show what the detainees go through and to show the trainees (audience)
               what they need to do as well adding disorientation due to the lights and music.

Opinion- I think that this will make the audience feel sympathy while also becoming scared because of the scene around them; but the scene is not violent and is more of a movement piece now so that it is not too intense for the audience. 

5 MIN - Continuation of torture scene.
6 MIN - Audience Is moved to left side. 

               String scene (Detainee mental breakdown good vs. evil)  and stress positions. The string                       scene is showing a detainees mental breakdown where one side of his mind is telling him to                 be strong and the other is making him think the worst and loose hope. The stress positions                   are done to show how the detainees had to spend a long time in certain positions to cause                     pain and discomfort

Opinion- We move the audience to involve them in the play even more making it more immersive. I think the string scene is good because it shows how the mind of a detainee is breaking down and how they are slowly going insane. The stress positions are a good idea because other actors something to do and will show the audience some examples. 

7 MIN - Continuation of String scene (Detainee mental breakdown good vs. evil)  and stress positions.
8 MIN - .Humanity of guards speech and phone home. This is to add more emotion and to make the audience feel empathy towards the soldiers and sets the mood for the video.

Opionion- The phone home scene is there to add more emotion to the piece and will show a more desperate side to the guards and how they are not as heartless as we have made them seem. 

9 MIN - Audience is moved to wall back wall. 
               Video. The video is hard hitting and  will add a lot of emotion; we want to leave                                   them questioning what they are doing and to try and make them have a new aspect of their                   way of thinking about Guantanamo Bay.

Opinion- I think the video will create a intense emotion and feeling of sadness and will make the audience really think about their actions. They will also probably begin to question how good the world is really.

10 MIN - continuation of video and audience leaves. The audience will be leaving because we will tell them they have failed. This is a good way to get them out of the room quickly,

Opinion- I think the way we get the audience out is quick paced because we need them to move on to the next segment so it is a good way of getting them out. While also including some slight fear. 

Stylistic Elements used:

We use immersive as that is what the whole performance is based on.

We use slight promenade theatre during the torture scene.
