This was the first of three performances held in Wimbledon last week. I worked with a actor, Hannah and a course mate, Izzy, who have both been working on Sarah Kane's Pshychosis performance individually. The collaboration brought the three separate elements of human presence, design and direction and the assistance of audience needs. (my bit)
In this, the first piece, Izzy requested that in order for the performance to work best, any elements other than the actor and design elements be reduced in order to not distract from the code of performang in a public space. Therefore my role was slightly redefined in that the main objective become the marketing and advertising of the event rather than providing any actual designed elements for the performance.
The posters and flyers were photocopy-able black and white print outs that could be selected, have the details completed by the users and posted wherever necessary. the poster included details such as the place, time and the name of the performance.

It was interesting how the spoken word sort of disappeared and reappeared as she changed direction. Though as an audience you were not very aware of how to position yourself. The use of the sign could maybe have appeared and reappeared smoother as the performer did it.
