As ideas progressed in groups , the structure of the performance began to change. The performance begins with the audience being led to the main room , where me and Jordan greet them, give them betting slips and introduce them to the activities. It seemed sense after this for me to lead them to an activity , after all “The solo voice can orientate, guide,” ((Person, 2011)). Because other groups styles were practical, I felt mine should too. To give the audience planes to fly and for them then to have to concentrate on the 9,000 pennies and speech simultaneously would be too much. Instead, by utilising solo performance I “can play a generative role in interpretation and the creation of new ways of perceiving; animating through fiction ((Pearson, 2011)).
Another reason for converting my contribution to a solo piece is due to the layout of the performance. There would need to be a maximum of approximately 20 to enable each participant to receive the full experience . Therefore, these practical activities will revolve so that each group can participate in each exercise. Bearing in mind that the penny for your thoughts display is a continuous piece in which the audience can place their pennies this gives me no choice but to perform my piece as a solo performance There was also a suggestion that I could lead the audience to the ‘penny for your thoughts’ section however the tour guide instead will be one of the ‘ women at war’.
