| Title of your Project:“You Have Not Been Here Before”
|
| Please describe your proposed work in no more than 50 words
A site specific performance located in different areas ofLincoln, with the city ofLincolnitself and those residing in it as the theme of our piece. We will record stories and then film where they take place.
|
| Tell us what you plan to do and provide a sketch of the ideas behind the work(250 words)
We plan to interview members of the public of different ages, cultures and backgrounds to discover whatLincolnmeans to them, asking them to reference a specific place. We will record their stories with their permission. We will then film one of ourselves standing outside wherever the story takes place, in order to create a short film, whereby their story will be the audio. This information will be gathered by spreading across various areas ofLincolnfor diversity including the high street and cathedral quarters.
We plan to show our work at a public place such as Tower Bar or The Shed for a communal feel, on one of their large screens. Encouraging the audience to join in with idea of presenting their stories. If neither of these places are available we will present the film in the LPAC.
We are also considering filming more footage on the day of the screening but that idea is a work in progress.
This has changed from the idea of using postcards on a canvas to relay their stories.
|
| Tell us about your target audience, and how your work will interact with them(150 words)
Our target audience is a whole variety of the Lincoln Community, including an assortment of different ages, cultures, backgrounds and occupations. Our audience for the filming will range from locals to students and all the stories will contain data of their age, occupation and where they are from. We feel this data will help us to get a wide range of material for our film and that their differences will make the film interesting.
Our audience for the screening will mostly be students and some lecturers but also other members of the public partaking in the tower bar/shed for food or refreshments.
As for interaction with the filmed public we will be talking to them, gathering their ideas and filming and photographing them where applicable. Interaction with the viewers of the screening will involve collecting their thoughts and perhaps including them in further filming.

| When and where do you propose to present your work (location, date and time)A public place that is accessible to students, such as Tower Bar or The Shed, or the LPAC.
No specific date and time as we are unaware of our groups allocated day/time
|
| Provide a project timetable detailing key targets and actions between now and the presentation of your work. Include Permissions, Materials, Health and Safety checks where applicable (250 words)Every Monday we plan to do Site Specific work for the entire day and wherever else we need to add in more rehearsal time.
We need some footage to show by Monday ( 5th) We want all our filming to be completed before the Easter holidays. When we return all editing will be completed in time for the performance. All materials and equipment we need have already been bought. We will require permission from Tower Bar/The Shed and are unaware of other permissions needed. As for health and safety generally taking care while moving around the city centre. Carefully choosing physical theatre movement so that it does not surpass our skills or strength.

| Give details of your project budget (though be aware that there is no Module budget so any expenses will, unfortunately, have to be borne by you alone).We don’t have a specific budget and have already equally divided the cost of what we bought previously. |
| Audience suitability: is there anything in your work we may need to make audiences aware of (eg. Swearing, nudity, flashing lights etc)?We may have to warn the audience of swearing depending on the footage we capture of the public. |
| Include a brief artist’s statement that describes you and your work (100 words).Our work is all about seeingLincolnthrough the eyes of a diverse public and what it means to them. It is about looking atLincolnwith fresh eyes and exploring the great parts of the city. The public are a central piece of our performance and our direction to follow in terms of the physical theatre. The physical theatre is to highlight these thoughts and feelings and to add some excitement to the film. Our work is multi-disciplinary providing a combination of film, photography, physical theatre and documentary. We hope the viewing audience will question whatLincolnmeans to them. |
