Lesson three

Today was the first lesson where I felt we started making progress with our piece as Charlie had started to create his individual piece and I really liked the idea behind it, of being personal to one of the audience members. From this we got the idea to each take an audience member and make it personal to them- by finding out who was coming to the performance as soon as we could. As we knew for certain our teacher Will would be coming, Charlie decided to make his individual scene personal to him. At our site there were a few round tables with red table clothes on them and Charlie had incorporated them into his piece as if he would be on a date with one of the audience members, which I thought was a good idea from the found objects. Nicolas also talked about and showed his idea which focused on coming out and same sex relationships as there was also a large closet on our site which was quite eye drawing, which made us think we should use it as the audience would be drawn to it. Personally, I was still struggling to think of a strong idea with my individual scene, but was trying to draw inspiration from a particular locker which was filled with rubbish. From this I thought about the streets and from this I thought about love for homeless people, yet I still couldn't think of how I would use the site to my advantage.
