As we began our devising we realised we had reached a stand still in our work. We had an idea we were all happy about yet it seemed putting it to practice was another thing entirely. There was no real narrative to the peice and we didnt think it used the site effectively.
We decided to go more with our original idea of being trapped , the site is has lots of small holes and barriors. We then thought of exploring a prison. There are lots of lines in the site influencing guard straight line walking. There is also a strong divide between the upper balcony and the corridor below. Symbolising the guards and prisoners and being trapped and being free.
We want to explore a prisoners story and use that to further relate to the site. We will use a story that started when the prisoner was in their last year of school , that way we can use the actual site as the school. Thus finding different ways to manipulate the site.
Next week we want to really look at bringing our ideas to stage , it would be particularly interesting to use bits of physical theatre as our site had so many archetextural features that would be perfect to use for physical movement.
