week 5

This week we worked on refining what we were doing in our piece, making it all cleaner and working out the timings. As a group we all agreed that we could be more brave with what we were doing in the piece, really wanting to give the audience a sense of relief when they leave the lift. Therefore we focused on our physicality's and facial expressions, working at a 10 and seeing how it effected/ changed our piece. This was really helpful as it meant we created new ideas really quickly, for example incorporating sounds and allowed us to see what did and didn't work.

We also received some feedback about our piece, advising us to look into the experience for the audience before and after the lift and creating a possible museum. This is something we have taken onboard and are planning to do. We also liked the idea of taking polaroids of all the people who went in the lift and adding them to a a wall to constantly be updating the site.


Museum :

These are some possible things we will have in the museum.

Images like these will help to show the time period our piece is set in as well as foreshadow for the audience what will happen in the lift. As well as these images we also want to have objects that relate to parties, i.e champagne, music etc as this is where the people in the lift were going when it crashed and we feel this will create an uncomfortable atmosphere due to the derelict nature of the lift we are using contrasting with these glamorous items.
