To use body and space within the architecture, to represent the joining of both space and body within performance.
We have made a group decision to use mod roc and paper mache to create fossils/ figures of the human body within the space of the library stair well located towards the back of the library. We made the decision to use this space out of the entire library because we believed it would capture our intended audiences attention much more than any other area or room within the library. I believe that this space will capture the attention of students passing the library in the day to day routines and also when they decide to use these stairs in the library because the fossils and creations we will make will be eye catching to students. We aim to make the students think about the architecture and history of this building and while using the combination of use of space and the creations will hopefully do this. From this performance I hope the students of the University Library whom go to the library to complete work, will appreciate how the history and the architecture are combined in this performance to draw attention to the history and culture of a interesting and diverse building. The photos attached to this blog are images of the surrounding space we wish to use, as you can see its very open and unusual and I am excited to start work within this space.
