The lost boy
James joined the group three weeks after the start of the project. Recognising the group were keen to do some devising work of a less experimental nature, this small group created a short film during one session, self-referentially using James’ arrival and his apprehension in coming to Half Moon as the topic of ‘fear’. He chose not to return after two weeks however, citing a lack of ease with the style of performance activities. The project and the particular emphasis on non-naturalistic performance practices did not suit everyone.
