After being told this week we were performing in the Gravity Fields Festival in Grantham (http://www.gravityfields.co.uk/), an amazing science festival, sparks starting flying in my head (See what I did there!) It got me thinking about possible ideas, how the use of lights and optics can be used in performance. When we go shopping, there are mirrors everywhere and we become aware of our reflection as we decide whether or not we want that item or not. Furthermore, we could possibly play with the idea of how light is used and reflected onto the mirror, working on images, shadows and reflections? Everyone seems in their own little world when shopping, a world of what? As soon as the customers enter a shop, do they are enter another ‘world’ in which they can escape the trials of life? When researching for inspiration I came across this performance, and thought I would share it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzUv4EedXWU I love how the audience on the outside are looking onto a supposed different world, snippets of different scenarios and the passers by are mere spectators, but could we work with roles being swopped? Instead, we are watching the outside world in their daily pursuits in life.
