This picture gave me the idea to do a performance about how the media takes situations then present them in a way to twist what really happened to get a reaction from people. This topic would be a broad subject as we could do a range of incidents. We could do stories of (enter celebrity name) who had allegations from people that they touched them when they were younger. So the media runs their name through the dirt, then it turns out that the allegations weren't true but it is too late, the performers name is ruined by that time yet nothing is done to the person who falsely accused someone of touching them. We could also do a piece about the effects of fear mongering through the media, we could do a movement piece showing two people repeating the same motions of going through their daily activities. However one person ends his night watching TV and we could have head lines of bad stuff that is happening in the world and as the days go buy the guy watching the TV is more nervous and worried whereas the other guy is just fine. We could do a movement piece about how before the child washed up on the beach in Turkey the media was showing the refugees as a threat and calling them 'immigrants' but after that they completely change their stance and suddenly everyone has also changed their stance.
