Today we looked at voice and how we could use only our voice to get a story/message/feeling across. My group decided to to the Hillsborough Disaster but as a soundscape. We divided our piece into two parts: the first part we each had a line to say and repeat like a football cheer/help or can't breath to show vocally what happened. however we do it in cannon and as each person starts we start stamping our feat so as it builds it sounds like a stamped. Then Meg screamed and we all stopped and let the silence fill the room. the second part was that one by one we tell a fact about what happened like the date, the teams, number of deaths/injuries, what happened.
I liked how the performance turned out, I feel that the build could have been more gradual and the noise and silence could have been held for a bit longer to maximize the effect. But I love the idea and that it worked well. I think we could use this idea of soundscape in our actual piece. If we were to put this piece in our actual performance I would want to add movement to the moment where we are saying facts so it isn't just a soundscape.
