Project 1 -Assessment

1. What spatial changes would you make when performing your performance again?
If I were going to make spacial changes for this performance I would try to attain a bigger room. I didn't anticipate how crowded the room would be with all of the tables and equipment. I would try to set up the project in a room without the tables and equipment surrounding the audience. I think it would have been more effective it the only thing in the room was the white-board.

2. How would you change the placement of the audience in your performance?
If I were to change the placement of the audience members I would probably spread them out more. A majority of the viewers were sitting on one side of the projection because there wasn't enough room on the other. I think it would also be interesting if the viewers could not see where the projection was coming from. If we had a bigger room, we could almost hide the projector and have the audience spread out more around the board and projection. I also would try to somehow get the viewers to take a step back and observe what was occurring between them.

3. How would you reconsider the use of sound in your work?
I think that our original idea for sound was really innovative, however it did not work as well as we had hoped. Unfortunately, the wireless mic was too bulky to attach to the dry-erase markers. I think if we could have had the sound of the marker and eraser project throughout the room it would have made a difference. The audience would have been more aware of their use of the markers.
