Dramatic interpretation Death and the Maidan and They dancing AloneRESPONDINGThe strategies that we have used in Death and Maiden, 1984 and TheyDance Alone are cross-cutting, non-verbal means role adopt and freezeframe. We used cross-cutting in Death and Maiden, non-verbal means inThey Dance Alone, role play in 1984 and freeze frames in most of the transactions.Cross-cutting is a technique used especially in filmmaking in whichshots of two or more separate, usually concurrent scenes areinterwoven it can also be called inter-cutting.We used this technique in the Death and Maiden human creations of Drama where wehad five different scenes two past, two futures and one limn, andwe started the slice in the future then past, then present, then pastand stopping point on future. This technique was used many times in this process and resulted into being very effective. It was effectivebecause in our performance we cut in and out of different scenesshowing Paullinas life in the past and in the future, but dependingon what was going to happen in the present depended on which futurewas going to happen. The two different future scenes were twocompletely different outcomes one being her talking to a councillorabout her week and her past with the doctors. She is still paranoidthat people tactual sensation at her because they do not like her and she panicsabout the slightest noise or incident which might be taking place, andthe former(a) was her getting matrimonial to her partner. The future ofPaullina would only happen depending on her past, which was herattending an opposition draws meeting which resulted in her beingfound out and the other scene which was Paullina starting in a mentalhospital being supervised by medical staff.FUTURE ago PRESENT PAST FUTURENonverbal conference includes facial expressions, tones of voice,gestures, eye contact, spatial arrangements, and patterns of gain andexpressive movement. Research suggests that nonverb al communication ismore important in understanding human behaviour than words alone - thenonverbal transmit seem to be more powerful than what people say.Non-verbal means is being other than verbal not involving wordsnonverbal communication this could include involving little use oflanguage a nonverbal intelligence test. unless for our non-verbal means performance we did not use any verbalcommunication in any of the scenes. Our performance was one scenebecause making the performance non-verbal decreases the chance ofengaging the audience into the scene. We used simple repetitivemovements and sounds to need the audience which was very effective.
