I have been asked to perform at Worcester University’s PiLOT event, an opportunity for me to display my work in front of a crowd to test how effective it is. Exciting.
I had started to think of Stanley Kubrick’s, A Clock Work Orange (yes I watch the movie again, just to gain someone else’s interpretation of the book) and the horrific scene where Alex Dances to singing in the rain, I felt it had a element of the incongruous, as the scene itself is horrific and but singing in the rain is the opposite in it being happy not matter what, its a very lonely scene, for me anyway. absurd.
I started to think how lonely it is when you see someone walking in the rain on their own with an umbrella and how one may think of the umbrella being lonely and not actually think of the person underneath it, but when you see many people with umbrellas it almost seems like they are happy and they belong… Though I would love to continue I will not until I have completed the performance, my idea fixed and proposal accepted.
