Site Specific Performance Review ( better late than never!)

You may recall earlier in the year we had a task of putting on a site specific performance about a famous person hailing from Nottingham.

You can read about this in my earlier blog posts here and here (excuse the shocking last minute attempts at flyers, they were awful)

Well i had intended to give a review of how the actual performance went right after we did it, we filmed the perfomance and i was waiting to edit the footage and post it up here. Sadly the person who recorded it never gave me the tape and as Idents arrived i totally forgot about this.

So better late than never, here is my summary of events!

Apart from a few organisational hiccups everything went very well, we delivered a good performance i feel and taught our audience some important historical facts.

Our performance took the shape of a guided tour around St Marys Church, at each point on the tour the audience were given a piece of a puzzle. Once the tour had been completed the identity of the subject was revealed as George Africanus and as we stood over his grave the pieces of the puzzle were put together to reveal a picture of him.



This was an interesting task, quite a difficult one to come up with ideas for but i was pleased with how the end result turned out. I feel with a bit more organisation and teamwork we could have enhanced the experience with more visual aids rather than just talking to people.
