After a really bad presentation at the beginning of the week I was desperate for a tutorial. I felt I did not represent my project very well at all on monday and do not intend on looking at what marks I get, just the written feedback. My tutorial with Rosario was very useful, and I now think I have one or two design ideas for a few objects. I plan to just get on with it and make, make, make. I need to start testing and refining ideas soon before I fall into a complete slump. One exciting piece of information I got from my tutorial on wednesday was a link to the Pilobolus dancers from New York. They do amazing performances using their bodies to great images alsorts of objects and scenarios. This was really inspiring as I love dancing, and the theatrical element of my project can really flourish with my latest ideas.
For my presentation I had to show my focused brief for designing prototypes. The only successful slide in the whole presentation. From my experiements I have decided to design puppetry for everyday life. My brief is to design structures and objects that allow the user to make puppets out of everyday objects. My first idea is for a table c
loth with instruction for the placement of dining objects that create shadows that build up to create a different image that suggest interaction. The cloth would turn the table into a stage for the users to move objects, through my directions, to create a shad
ow show on the table or adjacent wall. I just need to decide what these objects are going to say. I have been looking at different stage directions for scenes for Romeo and Juilet and image of Fred Eerdekens work with shadows below for ideas.
