2) five love Hero's ( dressed in red) join Claudio on the bed. Claudio will somehow have red ribbons attached to him ( perhaps tied round his arms) similar to Megan and Ellie's dance in physical theatre
3) the love Hero's will use these ribbons to manipulate and control Claudio's movements ( movement is passionate). This is where the love sonnet will be said. Each hero pulls Claudio towards them with the ribbon. They will perform a small section of movement together whilst Claudio speaks a few lines of the sonnet - before he is pulled away by another hero etc. continuous movement.
4) four of the love Hero's will go to stand up and pull Claudio with them ( whilst Amy is still on the bed). Claudio will begin to stand up to follow the four love Hero's
5) Amy will grab Claudio's hand pulling him back down to the bed- perform the love sequence. Here we will use red powder paint
6) death/ revenge hero enters the stage towards the end of the love duet
7) stands separate from Claudio and the other Hero's ( dressed in black) perhaps performing the five stages of grief motif
8) Claudio sees death/ revenge hero and starts to panic- breaks away from his happy illusion with the love Hero's and remembers the reasons and consequences of their broken relationship
9) Claudio stands and stares at the black Hero whilst the remaining five love Hero's try to smother him again, making him panic more and feel claustrophobic. He pushes them away.
10) directs all his anger at the death/ revenge Hero - one line taken from much ado ' she knows the heat of a luxurious bed'
11) death/ revenge hero and Claudio fight duet - movement which shows separation, struggle, anger and pain- whilst Claudio repeats the same line.
12) use of black powder paint ( by the end of this dance, Claudio will be covered in two different colours- red and black which signal the mixed emotions and memory of his relationship; passion and death.
13) as the music begins to fade, each love Hero runs towards Claudio yet he pushes them away in anger - finishes with all love Hero's lying separated around the room- lying in emotional pain
14) Claudio is left amongst them looking around, breathless and in panic.
