Draft for solo piece


Alongside my critical study, in my solo piece I will examine my idea in terms of visual outcome and structure of performance. In visual point of view, some objects and installation which can work as a entire set piece will be used to create action inside actual space. In the other part, I want to see each audience as a performer inside space. Thus without actors, each audience can create their own performance.

Theme for project is that questioning happiness and its nortion, then looking for different definition which are originating from individul's experience of life. Being involved in my piece can be regarded as a meditation or ritual of daily life. Throughout this, I want to extend this rituals, pilgrim to everyday life. Even though we don't have a fixed or final answer of that question, we are not in front of final destination of life, I want to let my audience stop walking for a while, and looking at our daily life, searching for something (can give us sense of happiness or anything can be valuable in our life), sharing what we found with other audience.

synopsis- almost like installation work, the space will booked for entire day, and audience are allowed come and go whenever they want. However only one person is allowed come inside center space. Before audience reach center space, they will walk through revolving elly which finally lead each audience to the center space. I haven't decided how I make this elly like jouney or pilgrim of everyday life. (I 'm thinking of using simple story or narrative and make storyboard for each step(stage) When single audience enter the center space,there will be a tree and an animal of imagine(I still looking for what will be suitable). That animal will give them a ball which contains other audience's defination or memory of happiness. The audience with this can spent some time inside the space until he/she get their own answer, then pick up one of ball which are hanging on the tree. After they finish write theirs and give to the animal, their pilgim/ performance will finish, but the ball they left will be delieverd to another audience.

This is still just an idea, I need to define this piece, but I made drawing as I followed first image coming up in mind.
