The process of ‘Solo Performance’ has been idea after idea after idea. The issue is, I feel the need to put on a performance that’s entertaining, a performance that people would pay money to see. The idea of just appealing to people who understand ‘drama’ and ‘performance’ is uninteresting, I want to create something that leaves a lasting impression on every member of the public.
I have been avoiding my biggest motivation, my mum, due to a slight feeling of discomfort at the idea of using her death as a ‘performance’. However, after much consideration, the fact is my mother was a performer herself. She embodies my positive mindset and would be honoured to be used as inspiration for a performance. This IS what my performance will be on. The hardships of life.
