Having thought on the idea of what to include within my performance, I decided it best to try and separate the performance itself into three parts and then work out what could fill each of those sections. There will be a “pre-show” announcement that can then lead into an interval, before finally ending in a post-show discussion. Ideally the performance would be located within the Lpac auditorium, with the post show discussion taking place outside in the Zing café where they are held for other shows on at the Lpac. Concerning the content, the easiest parts to form at the minute are the interval and the post-show discussion. The interval will be a comment on superfluous elements to commercial theatre and could potentially include merchandise of some kind, selling Ice-creams and Programmes for the (non) show. If Ice-creams are a possibility I’ll be looking to have one of the correct brands that come in the iconic small cardboard pots, with Losely being a potential brand.

The post-show discussion might cover pre-prepared questions concerning the show, or alternatively explain everything occurring previously  in order to eliminate any ambiguity surrounding the show and to make sure the “proper meaning” comes across. However the content for the pre-show section may require some refinement and large amount of development. It can be seen as all ‘nannying’ the audience, but divided down further into potential material concerning: health and safety, censoring the script to suit the audience, ensuring the audience is fully comfortable and promoting social media. Once I have come up with a full list of potential topics for this section I’ll be able to piece together material to test with it.
