Finally we came to the idea of utilising the art by interweaving narratives into a journey book. Firstly we formed our first narrative from eight art pieces; at the beginning there is a choice between two different contrasting story lines that the audience can choose and take as their journey. This allows the audience to make their own decision or pathway and therefore this allows more variation in experience. Our work requires the audience’s perception and reactions to form the performance and by connecting to them emotionally we are allowing the performance to relate to them on a personal level. Drafting our first narrative we have realised that to strike more interest it is important to make the narrative more intriguing, bold and controversial. For example with the love narrative we used a story line that was too conventional and therefore more depth was needed. Moreover the directions were required to be more specific, so we added in a map with coordinates using letter and numbers to identify what room and what side of the wall the artwork is. Incorporating more options and interweaving the other narratives together will help to develop the narratives individually as well as a whole piece.
