Both Phoebe and I decided to scrap the idea of being dragged in a potato sack as our self esteems as we found that we didn't have the materials necessary for the piece and we also didn't feel like it would tell a story or convey a message very well. However, Phoebe and I both brainstormed the idea of choosing a tiny black room outside room 415 and using it to create a mini party room.
We decided that we could decorate the tiny room with party balloons, fun disco lighting/stage lighting and continuously play fun music. This could be children party music or our songs of joy from our performance workshop classes.
The idea is to create a fun and inviting environment, one that will incite the audience to come sit one on one with us. Both Phoebe and I will act child like, this will make things feel innocent, and then we will ask the audience to blow up a balloon and inhale the air. We will call the balloons 'fags' or 'cigs'. Hopefully this will show the audience how when you are young you try stupid things because you think they're grown up and it's part of experimenting with new things. Hopefully it will also show people who do smoke how childish they look as an extra meaning.
This will make the audience feel confused, but it's meant to do so. They're meant to leave our mini room thinking 'what the fuck just happened?'. We want the experience to feel like you're in a different world where you feel like the world has flipped. Hopefully this will both put the viewer at a slight unease or make them feel confused.
