So progress in the creative process so far. We’ve pitched our idea and have started experimenting with performance, last week we put together a five minute performance reenacting the tale of an apple falling and hitting Issac Newton. This short piece of drama looked into the historical connotations behind apples. In this short extract we were able to inject comedy into the performance making the piece engaging for all age ranges whilst remaining as historically accurate. This week we are broadening into even more entertaining ways to educate our audience and make full use of 101 apples. Our performance this week is an apple circus. incorporating juggling with apples, a apple joke telling clown, mime artist and carnival games involving apples. We have come up with the idea to have several` performances as a sort of flashmob amongst other more static uses of the apples, these performance based flashmobs will consist of the historical, the entertaining and the scientific. As next week we plan to demonstrate actual science using apples.

For this site specific performance to be successful it has to be varied, I see it as a talent/variety show with apples instead of contestants. All of us involved in this project are currently in the process of experimenting. So coming up with ideas, rehearsing them, getting feedback. This process will allow us to collect the most interesting and polished 101 things to do with an apple.
