Because I focus on body movement and the voice, I gave the audience free range to develop the images of this world. I had planned to use matches. Unfortunately forgetting them, I quickly used pieces of paper. These surprisingly made my piece much stronger. The sound provided an extra layer of anxiety an mystery to the piece that I was incredibly surprised by.<\/p>\n<p>I started this project by looking into Quad and children&#8217;s games like Ring Around the Rosy. These games provide the basis for which I add questionaries to probe the performers throughout the experience. The intent was to blur the line of the audience as a collective entity with related thoughts and as individuals. \u00a0 For example, i&#8217;d ask very private questions that must be answer with shouting. This shouting gave a strange and vaguely threatening tone to the piece, but the more private questions made the audience further interested\u00a0into being engaged.<\/p>\n<p>I overall feel the piece needs more work. It felt intentional but unnecessarily\u00a0obtuse at points for my own liking. I would describe it as a system because it evolved in relation to an audience. The audience themselves and their collective number\u00a0are the uncontrolled variables that changes the piece continuously through the performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 lttle match grl\u00a0is a performance piece\u00a0in which the audience is faced with the elements\u00a0of the Little Match Girl to explore performance and story telling as a system.
