We decided we would create an abstract physical theatre piece in the lift to show the 1903 lift accident. The audience would watch it through a see-through sheet of plastic. Through physicality, we will portray bones breaking and the lift crashing. We do this by making disjointed and abrupt movements and holding Immy so she is off the ground and falling while screaming. The piece would also consist of us leaning on each other in slow motion and devising a sequence with a strobe light and music.

This video by PUSH inspired us as it includes slow motion as well as lifts that we could attempt to compress into a small environment:
