A shift

So, after Theo and I made the giant paper boat, and sat in it for a while, we got to talking about danger.
The idea that you can't make a theatre audience feel like they are truly in danger, but you can make them feel for the characters in danger.

We wondered if we needed characters.


And then we started talking about the audience being in a situation where they feel the love, warmth, security of the siblings, and then they start to sense the danger they are in. And then there's afinal stage, something changed but also similar to the first stage. Some kind of beauty.

So if the audience is in a room of some kind, something immersive, that they can explore. And then we can play with changing the technical elements of the room, to make the audience feel the danger (perhaps), the claustrophobia, or at least some kind of feelings of knowing that two people are going through a terrible experience. Perhaps its fear. Or loss. Not sure.

But i don't want it to be in a theatre. I want it to be somewhere genuinely warm. So my extra lounge it will be. The turret room.

And this way we can play with specificity without having to build clever things.
