I’ve found that when creating a piece of theatre, especially a solo piece, it is very hard to define a clear cut answer to all of your own queries and questions. As, there is no committee to voice these ideas and notions too; thus it is an ongoing argument with yourself. Today i have been trying to figure out a structure that would be best to create in order to justify my reasons and create a sense of understanding within my piece.
This may seem a little convoluted to follow; basically, today I tried to design the structure that would hold the various mirrors, as well as the see through film in which i will portray my morning routine. This lead me off on a tangent in thinking that i should just create a bathroom styled image; with a back wall, a sink, a few tiles and a bathroom mirror. whilst all around my hung shards of mirror to create a larger aesthetic and also tie into my stimuli of my ‘fractured insecurities’. This will have to be decided on and very quickly, as i want to get building as soon as possible.
This still stands though, there is no worse critic than yourself and yet there is no greater one to develop your idea. It is hard to keep rejecting ideas when i need to move forward on the script [of sorts], yet i feel like i can’t waste these ideas which seem simpler to recreate on stage and relate to my ethos somewhat.
