Joseph, Hamish and Joseph
How was the site explored/research
We explored the site by using the trees and the stumps. we used weight bearing touch and using abstract movement to weave in and out of the trees and stumps. We used the back of the space which is quite far away from the audience, this will be difficult for them to hear the speech however it leaves it open for interpretation. we move from back to the front using the environment in the piece and example of this is using the wood chip of the floor to kick around. Whilst me and Hamish move there is a relationship evident between us. The piece shows the difference in opinions and views there for we use inversions of each others abstract moves.
What worked and didn't work?
we didn't have much audience interaction. we used a wide range of the space however more levels could have been used e.g height, we used Abstract and stillness in the piece. vocals could not be heard on camera. i think that the performance did not build it stayed on one level. something that worked is that we manipulated our audience so that they had to watch from a certain point. the audience could not get onto the space due to there being a fence in the way.
Action plan
i think that to improve the piece we would need to make sure levels are considered and using the back off the space.
Ronan's Tree piece
How was the site explored/research
We used the trees to cling onto. we weaved in and out of the space swapping trees. we also used the floor for cartwheels. we used the tree efficiently.
what work and didn't work?
I think that using the different trees and abstract movements around them worked.i think that we could have used different costumes that contrast the background perhaps brighter colors.
