As my piece is verbatim, I went back and looked a the previous work I've done using verbatim pieces - mainly, my group physical theatre piece from last year as well as the work we did on Nadia Fall's Home and various productions by DV8. I love working with verbatim and other people's words as it really feels like you're giving someone a proper voice - though this is more difficult with my stimulus for this project as I don't know how my speakers said the words or their tone of voice, I'm still trying to be as authentic as possible.

In particular I looked at DV8s production of JOHN - a verbatim piece of physical theatre. It was extremely useful to research this as I was able to grasp how they combined one man's story with bold and interesting movements that told it extremely truthfully.

In an interview about their process with creating JOHN, David Grewcock - Assistant to the Director and Company manager stated at one point that they:  "We put the ‘finished’ edits of the interview audio recordings onto iPods and the dancers then repeat the words they hear back in real time as they improvise or complete physical tasks in order to generate material."  

This is a similar process to the one I took as though I didn't improvise using recorded word to improvise with, I did repeat my lines over and over as I developed my movements to ensure I always stayed on task and stuck with what I was really trying to say behind the lines rather than moving for the sake of it. This was very useful as it allowed me to really pinpoint and work specifically at developing movements for those particular lines rather than just generalised movements for the theme.
