Trio

Lose Yourself 
Our trio is called lose yourself. It is based around how people are so lost in their struggles, pains and routine that they become numb to the emotion it evokes. Having the routine on a loop suggest the duration of time which shows how long people carry out the same job. We were inspired by Dorothea tanning - Eine Kleine Nachtmusik from TATE  MODERN and how realistic her painting was, but carried out the aspects and qualities of a fantasy. The incorporation of realism and a dream was key as the difference couldn't appear to blatant. The repetitive gesture was influenced by Gestus and how you can incorporate meaning with gesture to provoke a reaction. So by conveying a ventriloquist dummy expression with classic business wear manipulated the audience perception of what was reality, how easily you can "lose yourself" within it.

Trio
 I believe our piece was successful because the soft, delicate instrumentals of the "Ballerina music box" accompanied the pieces rhythmic movement. Also, how it continues on a loop emphasises how people are wired to their daily schedules. The simplicity of the piece was effective and intimate as their was no dialogue which meant the audience had to refer to the rationale and the physicality of the actors. The use of water and edible money drew the audience closer to the performance which meant they would concentrate and focus on the movement for a duration of time. The contrast in gestures created hight and a journey in our performance meaning the audience could follow the message behind the movement individually and as a group. Having one actor running around meant the audience would always be reminded of the piece whilst travelling the space and would want to return and find out what the actors end goal is. To improve our piece we could've added hints of dialogue to express how we felt doing it to fuel the meaning of the piece even more. Also, experiment with different gestures and levels so the audience can visually feel the depth and feeling of the performance.
