After discussion about our first idea for our performance we began to expand on our ideas and think of how we are going to materialise these:
- Drapes- We intend to capture the audience within a small area of the theatre. The audience will be inside the square made of white material to lie inside and watch projections that are happening above them on the grid. The audience will be invited to lie down and relax with cushions, duvets and pillows within the square to create a calming atmosphere and to share a mutual experience of relaxtion and dreaming.
- The use of projections within our performance creates a world of fantasy. We are intending to blur the boundaries of reality and dreams. By using projection this allows us to distort the boundaries between the reality and fiction by including a live element.
- The use of sound will enable us to provide a specific atmosphere. We intend to manipulate the mood of the performance due to use of sound and music. We have explored specific music types which include calming and tranquil sounds which is designed to help people to go sleep. This adds to the technological side of our performance which links with society today which relies on convinient technologies.
We will experiement with these notions and rehearse our ideas to create a performance which will combine both reality and dream.
