I'm open to the idea of using a graveyard at night because it already sets an ambiance for a performance and with a grave comes an easy topic to base our performance on, death or the dead. However this location has some issues that we would have to prepare for if they occur. As it is an outdoor location weather will be an immediate issue we will have to prepare for strong wind or rain. Also the time we perform will depend on how much natural light we want for the performance. We would also have to find a graveyard that will allow us to use it as a performance space, which would be difficult and then we would have to travel there with our costume/props to rehears and perform the final piece. Travel will cost money and the use of the grave will probably cost money as well. Then we have to think about the ethics of performing on top of someones grave, I am not comfortable with performing on the top of someones grave, I feel it is too morally wrong even for me to do.
I like the idea of using the woods to create a performance because I feel that the possibilities are endless to what we could do. However, like the graveyard, as it is an outdoor venue we will have the issue of weather and time that could work against us. Also we will have to find the owner of the land that we wish to use, to gain permission to use said land. This might be a private owner or the council and how long it takes to gain permission will depend entirely on who owns the land.
To use Chatham Dockyard would be cool, I think that it might limit what we can perform but I really like the idea of using the period location to create a piece. However to use the Dockyard will definitely cost money and to perform outside or inside will be up to us but if we use outside then again the issue of weather will be predominant. We will have to organise a way to transport there which will cost money.
