AUDIENCE

Up until this week we had planned to have the audience to be looking inside the lift from the doors, however we decided to make it more immersive, and knocked the capacity from 15 down to 1. This would mean that we could have a more concentrated piece of theatre targeting all of our energy to one audience member. This was a risky decision but we discovered that we would be able to have a repetitive flow of runs, as a lift goes up, and we drop the audience off, we could go down and collect a new one. By having six of us in the lift this would mean that the audience member will feel vulnerable  and exposed. One of Artaud's techniques was to make the audience feel uncomfortable and with this vulnerability we would be able hopefully pull off a successful piece of immersive theatre.
During the session, We discussed props that we may need, and delegated them between one another to start to purchase these. Ella was to get a strobe light, I was to get a mirror and blood capsules, Leanne was to get a speaker. Imogen some Candles, and Kim a black sheet.
