I have been stuck in my mind at some point since 2nd term started. It 's getting seem clear the thing make me in trouble was fear or lack of confidence in making performance. Even though I aleady got several ideas, I couldn't go further. I hope that this language process will the first step toward the solution of the question.
When I was working as a costume designer, whether a director likes me speak up my voice about the pieces or not, my job was clear to me. I had my own tool and I knew how to use and apply it to the entire production. However here I've been given a chance to make performance my own. It can be a oppotunity at the same time a chllenge, because I got only one tool, me. In order to creat someting which could be called as a performance, I needed to exert my tool and skill. Natually I started look at installation or situation which have a possibilitiy for me in using in a prctical way. My idea would be fitted in the that kind of construction of notion. Without a performer and their speech or text, audience will be allowed to explore space and also given some mission to be engaged in the space and the performance. Furthermore in this piece each audience can understand her/himself as a performer. It was ok until some question arose. If so, what is difference with themepark? In this consumer's society, not only theme park, but also other entertainment facillities such as shopping malls, museums, and even restarants can be themetised place and their audience (customers) will be given some experiences. The question is how my show could be differentiated from this kind of things? It could be because they have different objects(of a maker) or expectation(of a visitor) or point of view(of disciplinary), but I'm not sure and it's not enough. One more question, what does entertainment mean in this contempory and experimental theatre? Is it guily to have it like industrial theatre? What do you think?
