Criticism of the site and performance

Criticism of the site and performance

Having feedback on our site allowed us to completely change the way we thought about the space and devising it. At first we chose to make the performance relevant to where the space was situated for example on school grounds. However we took bits of the space that we were able to respond to such as the idea of secrecy. 

The feedback we received was very critical however allowed us to take a step back and realise the potential of the space we were unable to see at first. The teachers said our performance was just a play in the site. I was able to understand this criticism as we didn't respond to the space as much as we could have. Our performance could have incorporated the found materials in the space and point out interesting aspects to the space.

To reflect on the criticism given i believe we need to develop our ideas further and not settle for a basic idea (our original idea being an affair scene). To ensure our ideas are developed correctly we need to stay connected to the space. The task "Look, see, notice" would help create responsive ideas. The ideas created from the space can also be developed from the architecture and situation of the space. We have begun to do this in the new found space. We have noticed that it is hidden from younger children, therefore immediately the space reflects adult scenes. Adult scenes may include: Sexual scenes, drug and abuse scenes. All of which the site may be suggestive of due to its naturally hidden nature.
