I have an idea! *cheers!*
IN BRIEF: A small number of anecdotes all responding to the idea of love and relationships be that in a romantic or family/friend way.
WHERE THE IDEA CAME FROM:
* Inspired by Flickbook Theatre Company. I very much like their use of staging and props such as using projectors and ‘shabby-chic’ decoration. Their stories are honest, and although light-hearted, can also have hard hitting undertones.
* My diary entries that I have kept for many years.
* Listening to music and having the realisation that music influences everything I do: my fashion sense, how I spend my money, my collection.
WHAT ARE THE STORIES?
* Funny, fast paced and maybe emotional at times but all in light spirit.
* My own experiences – Tinder, Leeds festival, high school, first boyfriend turned out to be gay
* Social media/societies view on love?
HOW ARE THEY GOING TO BE TOLD?
* Music is a central theme. My record player on stage, playing songs that match the mood/theme.
* Home videos on screens – projections
* Strings with photos of my friends/family on.
* Overhead projector – telling the story using shadow puppetry.
THINGS TO CONSIDER/NOTES
* Post-it notes
* Left/right side of the brain
* Time line of my life
* Love shack
* Intimate feel
* Diary on stage
* Hand outs – lyrics, answers to social media questions?
