Theatrical Piece On Schizophrenia Posted: 04-17-07 05:20am
Hello there,
I am in my third year of a BA (Hons)
Performing Arts and I have decided for my
last project I am going to compose and act
in a play to do with mental health issues,
but more specifically severe mental health
like shizophrenia.
This will be a rather abstract piece
(theatre of cruelty), it's not going to be
your "normal" type of theatre as I want to
create a different element to it as though
it's set in another dimension or extra
terrestial.
In order for me to create the main
character realistically who suffers from
shizophrenia I have come across your forum
after a google search and was wondering if
you would be so kind as to share some of
your stories or how having shizophrenia
makes you, through physicality and
vocally.
I mean no offence by this post, so I hope
I haven't crossed the line. I was thinking
of trying to get a visit into a
psychiatric hospital but this might prove
awkward and timely and I only have 10
weeks to get this project done.
