Week9 - Mid Review

                                              

PROGRAMS AND SPACE

Considering the church as a space as temporal fluid, unstable space in which u walk into a space flooded in water, as there are 3 visible platforms which run directly down the center of the space leading u to the end of the church. On the way down etchings in the wall resemble flood lines, this will evoke feelings of emotion as these lines run over the head of the average height. These lines can be used in part of performance to tell the story of the tragedy which occurred in Prague. As this experience is taking place the water which is dug out of the ground seeps lower and moves back up only wetting the souls of your shoes as u walk along these platforms, the uncertainty of not knowing when the water will rise or how far it could rise evokes feelings of panic and anxiety.

Once u reach the floating stairs at the end of the church u move up through to a stable platform to view the performances which take place. Rising to higher ground.

The back of house structure can be used as part of performances as it is wrapped in a thread like material which when lit up will allow u to see dancers and organisers move through the stair well structure to set up dancers and equipment. Revealing behind the seen details.

The piece would deal in fear and delight, anxiety and peace. A dreamlike experience, slightly frightening, intensely magical and physically involving : It evokes complex feelings, both as an idea and as an adventure. It involves trust of your balance to lead you to an aerial stage, along the walls etched [LED] lights resemble the past of floods in Prague.
