On Friday we all presented our concepts to the class for critique and input from our peers. We performed with a much better response than we were expecting and that has boosted our team confidence going into the week of the final performance.
Our performance concept involves subverting the attention of the audience by staging a quiet 'performance gone wrong' on stage that we ask the audience to be particularly quiet for; unbeknown to the audience however is the real performance is going on in the crowd around them. We are going to have a number of actors infiltrate the audience and produce annoying sounds that will get progressively louder and more obnoxious.
In essence the real performance will be all around the people that are there to watch. The statement in this piece is that we need to re-tune our ears and mind to consider that the sound that we produce is as valid as that that we gather to watch be performed.
