We have recently been given the news that our site has now been changed. We will still be performing in the ‘Gravity Fields’ Festival in September but our performance in May will now be taking place in the Lincoln Performing Arts Centre (LPAC). I think this can be seen as unfavourable due to the fact that we have planned out our performance to fit into the shop we visited in Grantham. However, there are many positives to this change as we can now rehearse our piece in the site we will be performing in. We also don’t have the issue of trying to get all of the technical equipment to the site as most of it is stored in LPAC. Although our site has changed, we are keeping our performances the same meaning that our piece is not so much site specific but it is site intensive or zone specific. For me, I think that our site is more metaphorical and can be known as the ‘Gravity Fields’ Festival. We have now adapted the piece so we have our original site in mind when devising as well as the new site making the piece highly versatile and could potentially be performed in many different spaces by only having a couple of changes to fit the space appropriately. All of these changes which have been made to our performance have really pushed us as a group in terms of being adaptable.

Throughout our previous changes, we have come to realise that our performance is no longer about explaining light and sound; it is more about what we have discovered and our journey throughout the devising process. We show this by having a video of our devising and experimental process playing throughout the performance. We are also experimenting with the sound waves whilst reading aloud a description of the original discovery and experiments which were carried out by Isaac Newton as well as other scientists. We want the audience to feel as though they are seeing us experiment with light and sound in an installation setup, giving them the opportunity to walk freely around the space and enter and exit as they please. By doing this, we are hoping that each audience member will be present at varied points of the performance, meaning that us as performers and the audience will be discovering different things and having a varied experience.
