For this week, we will do something a little different that will hopefully pull you into the visual, abstract, colorful, textural world of your scenes. Just like in our performance work, we will use impulse, instinct, thought, care, presence. You will make two separate “character collages” for the two different characters and given circumstances you have chosen.
You can use anything you- find/discover/make- such as magazine images, glitter, yarn, fabric, torn paper, odds and ends, newspaper, paint, stickers, living material?….glued or taped onto a harder surface, a thicker piece of paper, a cereal box,….be creative.
You will take into account all of your givens, yet paying special attention to:
The Who….What does this person look like? What are their core values? How do they move? The texture of their voice? How can you answer these questions through the visual?
The Where…The setting. Color? Texture? Light? Linear/curvy?
Objective…What does this person want? How can this be expressed without explaining it through words but by showing it?
You will have two separate collages. Please don’t rush these. Allow yourself some time to dive into the process. When you are finished with both, take pictures and submit, with a typed response giving some insight into the why’s of your choices in the two collages.
