HIC Research - Strange Fruit Theatre Company O'Povo

After watching this artistic performance, I think there is a lot of elements my group could use in our own performance. Starting with their costume, I like how their costume fits with what they are doing to begin with but doesn't as the performance progresses. However I don't think a technique like that would work for my performance, it would be too obscure for our style of performance. I also liked there running moment followed by the post-it notes with personal stories with the sugar plantation. I feel we could do something like that to show the modern day teacher struggle, show that they are exhausted, tiered and frustrated with the situation that they are in. Then we could have stories about what particular teachers go through on a daily basis to then only get paid on average £29,446 a year (according to http://www.payscale.com/research/UK/Job=High_School_Teacher/Salary) so instead of doing a line like they did in the video we could mark out the number £29,446 in post-its'.
