Scratch Performance Number 1

Ideas for scratch performance due on 5th March:

  • Provide the audience with mirrors
  • Sit the audience in the round
  • Performance happens in the middle
  • Ask the audience to look at themselves in the mirror for quite a long period of time, almost too long
  • Ask the audience to shout out the one thing they dislike about what they see
  • Ask them to shout it out again even louder
  • Ask the audience to shout out the one thing they like about what they see
  • Ask them to shout it out again 
I am still unsure what I am going to do with this small idea but I want the audience to feel as though they can relate to my performance and focus on the things they like and dislike about themselves when they look in the mirror. My aim is to make them see that the bad things aren't really that bad.
  • Shout out what I dislike about what I see
  • Shout out what I like about what I see -People don't like to acknowledge what they like about themselves because they think they are being big headed. But really they are accepting what they have been given and enjoying it.
  • Come on stage with a fancy yet revealing costume on, lots of make up, hair all done up ready to perform.
  • Start performing the performance, 'Take Back Your Mink' from the musical "Guys and Dolls".
  • Unsure as of yet how I am going to perform it. Is it going to be over the top? I know I want to dance but I don't know about the singing part.
  • When the instrumental of the song comes on start taking off my outfit
  • Left in a nude, skin tight catsuit so everyone can see my figure
  • Tie my hair up
  • Take of my make up in front of everyone and stand there with the music on and stood as a 'natural' figure.
I want people to question how they view women in film and also women to question how they portray themselves. I want people to do things for themselves and not for others.
