Week 9-11 – Progress and Development

Weeks 9-11 sessions

This time period of three weeks consists of a two week vacation for Easter.

  • During this period, as a group we had decided to meet once (on the last Friday of the vacation).
  • In this meeting we managed to source and create the visual aids we needed for the final piece: Card – created by using folded card that we stood the stories of our couples inside of.
  • Also finalising the measurements for our structure
  • Having now completed the content for our final piece this allowed our group during week 11’s session to develop and ‘play’ with the dynamics and volume of each piece within the performance – We added movement to the callers within the piece to see if it gave them more of a presence in the piece – However we decided it wouldn’t be beneficial for our piece because callers were known for standing in one specific spot and preaching – They did not move so why would our callers need to move.
  • One change we have made is to remove the exchange segment of our performance – the giving of a flower for information wasn’t engaging for a passing audience member. We only saw this as an advantage for our piece as it sticks to the minimalistic style we have developed.
  • The plan for the next session is to take the structure into the space and conduct half an hours’ worth of rehearsal to alternate the carver between our group to see how it works, if we like it, if we don’t.
