Through exploration in class, we learnt what was meant by space, boundaries and thresholds. It got me thinking of what we actually mean by the term space. I never truly thought about the spaces we can identity in life, for example-dream space, the sub conscious space of our dreams, real-space-the here and now, the I-space- we are constantly learning about ourselves and things around us. But, the space that stood out for me was a transient space, whether that is a hotel, airports, train stations or even a shop. People are constantly passing in and out throughout time, with no one staying, making their mark on history and leaving the memories behind them as they pass through it.

As we are performing in a disused shop, we also need to work out how the audience move around and explore the space as ‘emptiness is an illusionary category and performance may have to work had to assert itself’ (Pearson, 2013, 156). It just reminds me of the time lapse videos you get of people just walking and going through the motions of day to day life, what if we actually stopped and truly appreciated the space we are in and as a group we should explore more that ‘there is inside and outside, with thresholds to be crossed and contracts to be made’ (Pearson, 2010, 158). The entrance to the shop brought us a new meaning as entering a threshold into a potentially new world and it will be interesting to explore this further when we see our site on Monday.
