So, structure.  Yea.  What?  Ok.  Ideas.

Simple question:
In our performance of The Fall of the House of Escher: A Möbius Trip, what falls?

Attempt at a simple answer:


I personally think it would be kickass if whatever "falls," falls over the audience.  I'm kind of floating with the idea of the audience in 3D glass and we learn how to do 3D projections so that the thing that falls can really FALL into them.  I'm speaking vaguely, but I'm thinking a house.  A structure, a building, architecture, that is mapped with a 3D projection falls down along the Z axis towards the audience.  Crazy?  Maybe?  That's my brain.

Wait...what does any of that shiz mean?  Here's an attempt at explaining.
Jeremy reminded me of Robert Lepage's "Image Mill," reductively giant projections mapped on large scale images.  i.e.:

Cool. Projecting on a giant architecture surface. Projection mapping. High Definition projection. Woot. Now think about an iMAX 3D movie experience:

Thought I'd have a video here? Sorry. Doesn't work like that. As this projector is not a 3D projector and nobody in the room happens to be wearing 3D glasses, it won't have the same effect. So ha!

Whaaaaat iiiiiiiffff:

We combine these two concepts. Projection mapping on a large architectural model...WITH a 3D projector. That would open it up for us to project a 3D house onto our set that could fall from the top onto the audience. Legit breaking that fourth wall.

Look at my hands for illustration.


Second Simple Question:


Structure?


I would love to explore mirroring (entanglement of sorts) in our structure. Like, what if the actors were paired up, placed in opposing places on stage at all times and every action causes an equal and opposite reaction on the other actor? i.e. Tyler facing the audience at Downstage Right lifts his right arm and Julie facing upstage at Upstage left lifts her left arm. Something like that that would rely heavily on what we've all learned from kinesthetic response and would illustrate the concept of entanglement wherein the actions of THIS thing affects THIS other thing.

Also, Pepper's Ghost:

Reductive statement about light theory:

White light hits a brown shirt. Shirt absorbs all colors accept for brown. The brown light reflects off the shirt and into the viewer's eyes.

In Pepper's Ghost, the plexiglass grabs that reflection that would normally just go into the viewer's eyes and suspends it in "midair."

Hands again.

Legit...that is mirroring.

Them's is ma thoughts.

Goals reflections:

I have not met with Brunella or Anastacia like I said I would. Bad me.

But I have been sharing ideas and speaking up, yes anding as best I can. So yay for accomplishing two other goals.
