Oppression

What I liked about 1984 was the reference to the TV screens.. I really think we should use this.. and have a play with it’s uses with in the piece.. The idea of using it to
show what is going on the stage is a good one and I think makes reference to how we are always being watched.. and perhaps gives a sense of oppression prominent of the time..
Perhaps this is another avenues we can explore.. oppression.. we have started to explore it with the working scene and the lack of language in the corridor,, and I had a idea about the dance bit,.. I thought if it was really over the top cheesy smiles (you know when we were discussing what our expressions should be like) then perhaps we are portraying the manipulation of the media.. like the posters and the paintings that are telling every one all is well and that life is good.. an advert for the camp?.. if we could play with it coming after the working scene or something similar this might be interesting, and perhaps show the oppression, in a different way?
I think what I mainly took from the film was the sense of oppression..
"Oppression that cannot be overcome does not give rise to revolt but to submission."
