Week 4

This week we worked on the experience the audience member would go through, as a group we decided that we wanted to have 1 audience member as we felt this would make them feel the most exposed and vulnerable in the situation. As well as this it also Means they will be fully immersed and not surrounded by people they could potentially talk to. In our piece we are planning to have the audience member in the centre of the lift with the actors surrounding them, as again this will make them feel the most exposed. We also worked on developing our physical section, looking at ways to show the lift 'falling'. We decided to include a lift where one of us hovers over the audience member to show this. Something we struggled with was the sensors in the lift, as if anything moves in front of them the doors open which would mean the illusion of our piece would be lost. Therefore we decided we would have to slightly modify our site by placing a black board in front of the sensors as this means they can't be activated. We are also going to hang a black sheet just in front of the doors so that if they do open the illusion is not completely lost. 

For next week we need to work on getting all our props together so we can do a full run in our site before the performance.
