First class of Production Project 2, having already done PP1 during first year I had an idea of what to expect. I really enjoyed this module as it was very creative and practical. Throughout the first class we were informed on what the idea of the module was and what we hoped to create by the end of it. Our aim was to devise a piece of theatre based on the events from May 1968, and a piece of theatre called ‘Paradise Now’. It was apparent from the very beginning that none of us seemed to know what ‘Paradise Now’ or the events which took place during May 1968 were. We defiantly need to do our research. We decided we wanted to look at world events between the years 1968 and 2020, then recreate a specific iconic image from each year for one of the three sections of what would become our end performance piece.
Our performance would consist of three sections…
- Recreations of specific images from world events 1968 – 2020
- Elements of Paradise now e.g Movement piece, Interviews, Recordings.
- Monologues
The concept which we were given for Production Project 2 and that we needed to use as a base line for our performance, was very interesting to me. I knew it was going to be a challenge, our final performance could only last between 20 and 30 minuets, we had to squeeze all of our ideas and creations into that amount of time, half an hour isn’t a lot really. I look forward to the creative, physical and exciting project ahead.
