In groups of three we were given the task to take three different forms of text and use one sentence from each to build a short piece of script. These were:
Building a Script
////What is Art?
//The Cambridge Dictionaries describes art as “…the making of objects, images, music, etc. that are beautiful or that express feelings” (Cambridge Dictionaries, 2014). In this session we wanted to consider what art is, whether our perception of art matches its dictionary definition and how others express their thoughts of what art is. To do this, we discussed different forms of art and how these connect with our perceptions of what it is.
Automatic Writing and Atmosphere
//To help construct our ideas for our solo performance, we began thinking about how we would shape our performance space. We were given an automatic writing task with a template as follows:
Lights go black
Empty Chair in the corner
Spotlight from the side
A voice is heard

//We began our journey into Solo Performance by choosing an artist we would like to do a presentation on. I chose Will Eno who wrote Thom Pain (Based on Nothing) (2004).
This was a ten minute presentation spoken to the rest of my group. My notes here correspond with each slide:
