Inspiration came to Jillian in 2017, she then began to write. Inception of Jillian’s first script In February of 2017, Jillian attended a movie with a group of comrades. The chosen movie of the night was the sequel to the popular 50 Shades of Grey film, 50 Shades Darker. She watched her first film in the franchise with an open mind but was quickly shocked at what she witnessed. Her jaw dropped as she saw a clear case of abuse between the lead ‘romantic’ characters. It was the only time she considered walking out on an artistic project due to her discomfort. However, she stayed, compelled to take in the piece in its entirety to get a full grasp of what the culture is consuming around her. Questions bombarded her. As a culture, why do we idolise these relationships? Why is this normalised? Why is abuse fetishised? Why can’t we see that? Where is the accountability for a creation’s impact? Do powerful creators care what their impact might be? Jillian returned home with energy coursing through her body and began to paint to help her process the experience. The painting unfolded in an unexpected way. She began with a sorrowful, grieving heart for those in vulnerable, compromised states, but her anger and fear projected forward and onto the canvas. In an almost out-of-body state, Jillian made the final stroke. She looked at the piece that seemed to have made itself and had this Knowing: She must write a play. She must create the antithesis of the movie she just took in. If that is how we have glamorised the narrative of abuse in our culture, she must write something different to add to the conversation and shine light on this subject. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6216d2af47577f6cc82e9894/e023d453-d595-4ac5-977b-6a9bfbd4e5c9/Reactive+Painting.jpg Playwright - “I must add to this conversation…” Curious, Jillian began to scour media, culture, conversations, and art to note what stories are being told around abuse and what narrative they create for the consumer. Stories of abuse are not frequently told, unless in private, quiet conversations about personal experiences, glib news clips of domestic violence, or the murder of a young woman on a crime show. The more she conversed on the subject, the clearer it became how rampant emotional abuse is in our lives, and how little it is represented in our systems, families, relationships, and work. She began researching abuse, reading articles, and listening to doctors, survivors, and abusers themselves. Poetry began spilling out of Jillian, her first and most visceral poem came unexpectedly while standing waiting for a street car. She raced to transfer the words into a note on her phone as she got in the car. While all forms of abuse are damaging and intolerable, Jillian was compelled to tell the narrative of emotional abuse as it is not often explored without being ‘secondary’ to a physical form. Emotional abuse is the least researched, understood, and represented abuse form, but has some of the most long term effects on victims. Jillian wanted to write a piece that highlighted the effects of emotional abuse within a partner relationship, focusing on women in their late teens and early twenties. Emotional abuse causes confusion and, over time, a shift in perceived reality. Jillian felt compelled to shine a light on the bewildering, invisible experience of emotional abuse, to make the concept tangible and physical. https://www.jillianschock.com/voice-over daily 0.75 2023-09-02
