Scratch 2 - Performance Ideas

After doing my first scratch I have realised I need to frame my work and answer a few questions in order for my message to come across in a clear way to the audience.

I have decided to call my performance 'Trio of Desserts'
As a result I am going to add the past three experiments I have done and fit them together into one bigger performance. As of yet I am struggling to decide how to link the three together but am hoping that my scratch helps me do this.

Part 1 = Why Wait?
When the audience come into the theatre they will be presented with a weighing scales. Each audience member will have to weigh themselves and be asked to shout out their weight. Shouting out their weight is not compulsory but I am going to ask them and see if they do so. The reason for this is so the audience members are already thinking about weight and body issues even before the performance has begun.

Part 2 = Take Back Your Mink
I am then going to do my performance of take back your mink turning the idea that wearing make up and a snazzy costume will make you confident on its head by being a better performer when I am in my comfortable clothes without make up on.

Part 3 = Plain Jane
I will then end the performance with more of a documentary lecture on my Plain Jane performance showing others how it made me feel living for a week without make up or doing my hair. 

I am hoping that adding these three things together will help frame my performance idea and give the audience some context.
