Keep It<\/b><\/p>\n
Something I would like to keep\/develop further is the theme of \u201cfailure\u201d that seems to be seeping into our world (i.e. failure of memory, failure of justice, failure of humans, etc.). This, of course, is a big theme to tackle, but I wonder what it would be like to invest more into this idea. My first instinct is to go back to those pieces (about failure) that we\u2019ve made and discuss their commonalities\/differences. Though those conversations, we might be able to pinpoint the ideas within topic of \u201cfailure\u201d that most interests us. I\u2019m also interested in how this idea of failure can relate to the audience – performer relationship (How do we perform failure in front of people vs authentically fail in font of people?) Maybe then we split up into groups and and make tiny (like one minute) performances? Up until this point, we\u2019ve been creating a lot of \u201csolo\u201d work, but think it might be good to start putting minds together.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve also been creating a lot of \u201cstriking\u201d images (like Bailey in the box, or Omar standing in front of harsh light reciting poetry, or Sophia in the elevator, etc). I guess I\u2019d like to continue to explore the way external elements (lights, sound, etc.) help to support our work.<\/p>\n

This has kind of already been touched on, but I would like to leave behind the \u201cmuseum\u201d aesthetic. Our presentation never really felt cohesive \u201cpiece\u201d to me, which was a little frustrating. I thought the audience was inundated with so many mediums, that they didn\u2019t really know where to look or how to look at things. Instead, it seems as if they gravitated more our \u201cperformances\u201d rather than the collection of things in the space.<\/p>\n

Narrative! I\u2019m interested how we can incorporate more narrative into our work. Most of the work we\u2019ve created has been centered around an idea or a story. I would love to talk more about why that is. How can we create narrative solely though text, image, or movement? When can those things be combined to enhance a piece of work? How can those things be juxtaposed and still (somehow) support the content of a piece? What are ways we can turn the concept of narrative on its head?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
