Ideas for ensemble scenes

*I was not in the ensemble devising sections and all notes about this part of the production are courtesy of Chloe Harris 

Today in theatre we got the parts for the play in the end of term. My part was part of the ensemble which I am really excited about as we have to come up with ideas related to Brecht's techniques. The ideas we came up with were:  Electric chair and standing:

Actor in an electric chair and is being shocked. the audience will have to stand up to save them. If one of the audience member sits down the actor gets shocked. 

Forced Drugs:

make audience take a pill that's actually a sweet. then wait about 30 seconds to have a blackout. Then trick the audience into making them think they are hallucinating by using projections ,smoke machine , optical illusions, bugs , images and high pitch sounds. 

Singing in the Rain:

Sing singing in the rain under an umbrella with water dripping in the back ground. We could have Reece in drag with a spotlight on him.

Shouting: 
A tape of someone shouting funny threatening comments. the ideas we  have for this is: 

- I'm gonna make you keep the itchy label in your jumper till you scratch your skin. 
- I'm gonna make you a cup of tea and wait for it to cool down and make you drink it. 
-I'm going to hide the TV remote and leave it on the shopping channel.

Tickling: 

We could make someone sit in an torture chair and tickle them to 'death'.
