Week 2 - more in depth in to site specific

This week we looked at what “site specific” means and read an article about the main features of site specific artistry: it could be any theatre-based piece that is performed outside a normal theatre. We were told to find a space in the building, which we did look at yesterday, and told to create a 1 minute piece using that particular space as a stimulus. In site specific theatre, the space has direct effect on the performance, and has to have special connotations in order to pass the message onto the audience. A very restricted space would mean restrictions, boundaries, lack of freedom or loss of liberty..

In the second activity we did, we worked in groups and I was with my group from the past week. Each of us came with some good ideas, but we couldn't agree on one, so we kept walking around without developing any ideas. In the end we worked on a piece which used the idea of the old days school strict rules, which lead as to the idea of having a fire drill. We came up with some choreography on the staircase we were using to show the uniform of the School system back in the old days.
