Week One – Site Specific Introduction

– Reviewed as a group the context of the modal handbook for this modal.

– Discussed a detailed outline of what Site Specific Performance is. That it’s seen more as a piece of art rather than a performance.

– We walked into the city centre and verbally established the perimeter that we were to stick to when defining our performance spaces. Using the knowledge and information I was able to apply a widened view on spaces in the city that could become performances spaces.

IDEAS AFTER THIS SESSION:

. The Old Church – Centre of high street – Memorial for the lost soldiers – Empathy

. Cark Park – Levels – Hierarchy – Class – Three separate levels – Each decorated to represent a different class – Nostalgia/ Thinking point

. Old Council Building – Levels – More relevant to the hierarchy idea – Council – Implying control

. Old Market Place – Old story replays – Based on the factual research of that specific market place from years ago

. Brayford River – Being seen – Societies longing to be seen but also wanting privacy – audience to make their own perceptions

. Jack Wills Building – Old Wool Factory – The stories from within that building replayed?

. Speakers Corner – Old Memories for the older population – nostalgia – mesh with new generations

. Train Station – Forever changing audience – something repetitive, quick and easy to reflect

. Station Street – Old streets with character – fun to perform on

. St Marys Street – Old street with character – fun to perform on – word play using floor space.

. St Marys Conduit – Lincoln population’s water collection – The travels to the water – The giving of water – play with the idea of giving and receiving in modern day and age compared to then.
