Hey guys, today I made my opinions quite clear about the movement in the nightclub room, and you all know how I feel. Well, Tim, Caris, Zachary and I all were discussing the possibilities for this room and with the help of Grotowski's Via Negativa we may have a great alternative!
We came to the agreement that the room, once finished, will be rich as an overall atmosphere with plenty of signifiers. We further questioned whether our movement would distract from this, as it has said to have done this in our last sharing? Thinking of how we could use us as performers to the best we can for the sake of the piece we have come to this conclusion....
Duck sauce will now say a series of ascending numbers (ages)... 18 21 35 42 63 84 (all relevant to 42- number of life). For each age we as party goers, same as the audience, will briefly become the age in our natural mannerisms for the duration of the age??? e.g: 18---lots of wooaahhing and jumping like when YOU WERE 18. 21---(I can't remember what we suggested). 35- all stop and make a phonecall to our kids at home (mobiles). 42---hang by the bar for some intellectual conversation. 63---we all congregate by the bus stop. (senior citizen buss passes)84---we will use the extras as a carers to lead us through the crowd in the same direction right before the bus comes in....
All the while, when the music reaches 42, it will slowly decrease in volume and tempo so that the entire atmopshere appears to wilt, however keeping the bass... it will end in the bus lights.
These all seem really quite simple however we are all in agreement that it could be strong enough AND subtle enough to finish this room without distracting the important signifiers?
We can discuss tomorrow what you guys think!? Hope you love it....
i think this is a much more intelligent way of using the music and us i loved the other movement loads but i agree that it was distracting i would have liked to use it and maybes we can use the vid of us in the reflection room so we havent lost it just displaced and used else where hehehe :)(this is just my opinion ) xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteIt is a great idea, and I know it is unlike me to think of other people BUT I hope Martyn doesn't mind changing the music again. After all he's probably worked on it yesterday and it was really hard for him to get the Sigmund Freud version of Duck Sauce. Let's hope he's on board too :S .... Martyn?
