As our pieces are coming together and we implement our knowledge of site specific performance into our work, I feel we must be careful how far down the rabbit hole we venture. Site specific is a challenging variation of performance and if executed well can show an audience a subject they previously had no inclination of, or view the same subject in a different light. My concern however stems from my own interpretations of examples of performance we have witnessed in lectures; said pieces have made me uncomfortable and even question my own view of ethics and morals. Now obviously these can be powerful tools when devising a performance intended to inform an audience. Though as performers I believe we should tread cautiously as we attempt to come out of this module with an enlightened perspective, rather than an altered mindset for the worse.

Recently the concept of site specific theatre has been lost on me; the ideology at first appeared too monumental for me to achieve an understanding of the term, or to create a performance on the subject. However since then I have been able to bring the subject closer to my own thoughts and ideas, which has allowed me to engage more with the subject. My group has been a big part of this, as their enthusiasm and energy has given me the opportunity to relate to the process better, which is always an essential part of creatively devising a performance.

The idea of upgrading the human body through science and mysticism working together, as well as the ethical ramifications of such an event fascinates me; how would people respond to such a discovery? How would this alter their beliefs? Would we embrace the change and give us a chance to work together, or would we reject it and focus on ignoring or even suppressing this advancement?

As an actor, writer and film maker who has used such phenomena before in various projects, I look forward to channelling my creativity towards devising a piece that discusses alchemic advancements; one that will entertain an audience as well as inform them of future possibilities if we open our collective minds.
