Presentation and Feedback.

Yesterday was our second of three presentations to the entire year group taking part in the dance/design collaboration. The cube, which is now smelling of Anne, Charlie and Dominick, is in the washing machine as we speak. Lets hope it doesn't shrink too much/fall apart.

Yesterday's feedback seemed much more helpful than last due to the fact there was much more to talk about and the project seems to be in a place that Igor and I feel much better about.

We showed our fabric structure being manipulated by the dancers inside. They presented the various ways it can be used. These different movements seemed to be speaking a few different languages. One being of a seemingly formless object transforming into a geometric shape. The second language was one of human presence under the white fabric. This became more about escape and release than about the geometry of the entire structure. Then there was something about scale, which i have not entirely managed to get my head around yet. A classic image for many, was seeing Anne stomping and being swallowed by the cube.

There are several design things i have been thinking about. Colour. I chose the white fabric just because I thought it was the cheapest and would inevitably change, but it seems like it has been serving us well in that it's strong and the dancers are now used to it. We'll need to think about who the dancers are in relation to the fabric cube and therefore what will there costumes be. Are they a part of it, or separate from it? We have no intention of keeping this thing white for the sake of it. Maybe some dye-room fun is on its way!
