Workshop for Collaborative project

The following photos are from my presentation used for the workshop I led in relation to the projection aspect of complicite:

The use of projections is a significant necessity as if we wish to reflect the work of complicite, a major aspect of their work includes the usage of multimedia techniques, especially projections.

Despite our lack of resource I was able to manage projecting videos I edited to include in the workshop although we experiences many technical difficulties as a result of faulty WiFi, although we were still able to form ideas through the different activities that we can utilize in our performance.

They were able to perform quite well despite the difficulties we faced, and they were able to embody what I asked of them quite effectively.

This workshop session helped us identify 2 possible scenes that could be included in our performance. The first would be the scene in which a projection of Aunt Lydia is showing, whilst the handmaids speak amongst themselves, although during some occurrences there will be an interaction between us and the projection. Such as Aunt Lydia saying 'Good morning girls' and us then responding 'Good morning aunt lydia', and so on and so forth. The other possible scene would be a projection of the handmaids memories of their past happy lives, and as the projection plays, us three as the handmaids will embody the emotions felt as we recall these memories, each utilizing one of Jaques Lecoq's 7 levels of tension.

I feel as though this workshop allowed me to get familiar with the usage of projections, what to do, what not to do, and what would be the most effective for our performance. The complications we faced has also given us insight on the possible difficulties we may face with projections, so we have now learnt that the use of projections requires extensive preparation.
