DAY 12 - Blocking

12/5/2013

Carly
Over the last week, Matt, Molly and Will all started to develop and build our puppet and props. Foam was being carved, clay was being moulded and tables being constructed. I was in Ireland at a family wedding...my time will come!

Today we met to discuss how our puppet and prop pieces have come along. We decided that we needed to return to our workshop this afternoon to finish them all for Tuesday's scratch at the Blue Elephant Theatre. But before we all ran off in different directions, we all went through some of our scenes and blocked them. Using a script Will had set up in Google Docs (which is a God send when creating new work), I was able to quickly type up each detail and movement.

Now that was logged, we went our separate ways to construct.

" MND is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks the upper and lower motor neurones. "

"In my view, mental and physical aspects of MND go hand in glove - if one has the right frame of mind, one can almost achieve the impossible"

" I'm living with MND, not dying from it. "

" I first saw the task as one of preserving my personality, of showing the world that my mind has not gone down the tubes with my voice. If I cannot say as much as I used to say, I have to say it better. So the choice of words becomes crucial. "

" He accepts life and works on the process of fate. What if life no longer accepts you? "

" Initial symptoms are: frequently yawning, deterioration of speech, tripping and unexpectedly dropping things. "

" I might be unlucky having MND but I think I am blessed to have the family that I have behind me. "
Mark Maddox

"I have had motor neurone disease for practically all my adult life. Yet it has not prevented me from having a very attractive family, and being successful in my work. This is thanks to the help I have received from Jane, my children, and a large number of other people and organisations. I have been lucky, that my condition has progressed more slowly than is often the case. But it shows that one need not lose hope."
Stephen Hawking

" It’s hard because I can’t even play football with the kids and I can’t do stuff that you normally do with young children." Mark Maddox

"It's been said that the care and support you receive is a bit of a postcode lottery but in my two-year journey I've met a lot of kindhearted people."
