When being told the location of our site specific performance, nothing jumped out at me straight away. It wasn’t until I took time to think of the words ‘retail therapy’ that thoughts started to arise.
Words such as cure, heal and treatment are associated with therapy. What does shopping actually ‘cure’ people of? How happy does shopping really make us and how long can this treatment heal us from reality?
These are questions I may consider when thinking about my practical work. For me, this is the most exciting part of the module as I the have no idea what direction the performance will take.
Michael, I am pleased that you have discovered the blog and posted a comment; but you haven’t offered anything else for along time. Don’t forget you need to be blogging regularly and sharing ideas, especially now you have moved into the creative phase of your work.
