Day with designers

Discussions on challenges in devising. when do decisions have to be taken? What is ideal making time and is that stage too soon for directors and actors to make decisions? How much and how long can you keep developing, changing and adding material? Are ideas and makes scrapped or recycled? Does you work have to be in the final performance to be in the 'show'?

Ideas for research:
what structures are there in devising?
how do other companies devise?
what is the relationship between the different disciplines?
what types and models of collaboration are there?

more ideas that have come up:

what is in the do not enter room and where is it?
what is the memory of the building?
what is the experience of the audience waiting to go in, if only few audience members allowed in at a time?
let's start collecting memories from potential audiences; happy memories?

groups working on:

the lecture
entering a memory
the old man and the costumes
collective memory
memory tests and experiments.

and more questions:

how do you enter a memory?
will audience enter a 'no entry' room?
what kinds of memories do buildings have?

  2. We all have some fantastic ideas, they're coming in from every angle especially now we've got some designers in. Would like to see some ideas taken and improved or developed, perhaps give a vote on who likes what idea best? If not do we have a decider on what ideas seem best? If so I think a lot of people would like to hear the ideas that have been chosen.
