As the New paper curtain fell for the last time, it had come to pass that all the research weeks and preparation of collecting newspapers and boxes had come to an end. It came First as a amazing experience to be a part of. With the special close working bond i built with my group i could definitely agree that we all thoroughly enjoyed our selves…

1st Place of May and our premier and preparation of covering the room had run smoothly. As we news papered the windows to shield the light for our projection of Eadweard Muybridge’s Horse, it began to feel complete.  As William Tells Overture began to play, the heart started to race as i burst out of the newspaper cocoon and picked up my betting slips. My Horse bet ” Aint got a Scooby” chosen from a random racing post defined my cockney accent and background. As we overlapped and lapped around the audience i began to get more and more excited as i knew what would happen once we had all reach the end of our lap.  The HIGH light was ” Ladies and Gentlemen place your bets here ” Throwing the betting slips in the air as they flew down and around the audience, created a sense of falling wealth, as they could be seen as cash feather floating to the ground.  My proudest moment of the bible verse declaration resonated with the finality of the performances end. Nothing.  The audiences faces as the meat from Tescos was presented : LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I NOW PRESENT TO YOU THE WINNER OF THE LINCOLN HANDICAP 2013 LEVITATE.  As the laughter and syncopated applause echoed in the room it was humbling to know from taking a theme of loss we had gained the audiences recognition of our humor.

 

The Piece felt at its most whole as some of the other groups helped to paper us into the people we were then on that day. It represented to me the build up to the final performance and how information i had consumed whilst studying this module. Up until the mask when i felt a complete loss of identity as my smile or expression could not be seen it felt restricting to my voice and movement when waiting off stage. If i could change one thing it would be to of stylized the news paper skin in a more comfortable and efficient way. I also would of like to had each of us project a verse from the bible chapter. In order for us to give  a clearer understand towards the audience through a different level again or how gambling can theologically affect man. I was really grateful to of had just the one verse shared it was something i felt personally needed to be in the piece to make it feel complete.
