Inspirations from M/T

Hey all,
here are some of what I thought were highlight ideas - lightbulb moments - from the last couple days of meeting with Gulgun.

1. In site specific work, we are redefining the relationship between audience and performance. How can we take advantage of this in a playful, intriguing way?

2. We can enchant the space with sound, image, movement. Realistic images are difficult in site specific work, because it competes with the environment.

3. The long hallway with doors that might have sounds behind them opens possibilities.

4. Dropping of things from the atrium space? (where William reads)

5. An image of an older woman appearing before the last scene?

6. A growing sense of competition between Marian and the story? She's trying to tame it - follow the rules, but it keeps fighting her until it erupts?

7. Use the window ledge in the long hallway on the way to the Ford scene?

8. Use tableaux vivantes in various alcoves?

9. Use projections? They might start as one thing, then when we return to the same spot later, it changes to something else?

10. Is the rehearsal really with live performers? Or recorded?

11. Can we perform in the stairwell on the way up to the lobby again?

12. Can we exist from that doorway in the basement?

13. Can we use the elevators as part of the experience? the cave?

14. Can the mother and father scene be movement based and define the feeling of working in a factory? And their relationship?

15. How can we stage the reading of names (commissioning scene) in a way the begins to build the menace of the use of that building...a war machine?

16. Can we drop something down the stairwell at the end? or use sound? Same thing that we dropped from William's spot?

17. Pole dance????? ha ha ha ha. (this was from today's group in case you weren't there...).
