the ladder

Our rehearsals at times in the beginning stages felt somewhat flat, we couldn't always think of material and nothing would seem to flow very well. However when the introduction of prop came to us, we were suddenly more inspired and creativity began to flow. The ladder was used as something to climb on, lean on, stand on, look through and move around the stage and this somehow made the process feel richer, there was something to use, something physical that could be turned into anything we wanted. i think that the introduction of this while we were improvising was incredibly helpful in our devising process because it gave us a stimulus, it was something to work with.
