Figure Outline

This part has been taken from Molly and Georgia's duet. We chose to include this in our piece because we find it signifies the absence of their men and missing them.
It is done in counts of four.

• The first counts of four we walk toward them
• The second counts of four we raise our hands so they rest on top of their head
• The thirds counts of four we outline their figure
• The fourth counts of four we mime rolling tape on our hands and bring our hands up to their chests
• The fifth count of four our hands go down their chests which is us taking any cat hair or dust off their uniforms
• The sixth count of four we put our hands in our apron pouches and hold poppies in them then bring our hands up to adjust their ties or jackets
• The seventh count of four we sprinkle poppies
• The eighth count of four we walk away from them

For convenience purposes, we have decide it be best not to use poppies in this section as it would be a mess and the show would still be going on after so people would get poppies stuck to their feet. Not a good look. We won't be having any of the men in this section but I think it's better this way. For our section, the men are ghosts of the past, or rather we don't know whether they're alive or dead and this section tells the story of constantly thinking about them so much to the point that we can see them clearly in our heads and hold last memories of them so close because it's all we have left of them.

In this particular instance we are remembering helping them get ready to leave for the war. We savoured those last moments the most because they're the freshest, at that moment in time you were both so uncertain about his fate but he had a brave face and you did too. But sometimes feeling of fear were suppressed because you could bring some sort of bad luck.
