My group’s first performance pitch was both over-complicated and not yet fully developed. Our initial idea was to work with technology, reflecting on the history of Lincoln whilst using audience interaction to educate them.
Our theme was to show how history is repeating itself and how we are learning from the past. We wanted to show both the positive and negative impacts that technology has had over our history. We were also inspired by the idea that letters are deteriorating and how technology is replacing them through email, text messages and phone calls.
After reflecting on our feedback and initial pitch we decided it would be best to create a new performance idea.
Our new idea is to create a feminist performance based on the female nudes within the gallery. We will be undergoing research on Ecriture Feminine and Practitioners such as Bobby Baker and Karen Finley.
