Mock Performance Rehearsal Log - 1/2/24

• Given stimulus: 'Life shrinks or expands in proportion to ones' 
• My initial response to the stimulus involved the idea of taking all the opportunities that are presented and that life will be full of regret and bitterness if none of these opportunities are ever taken. 
• My first idea involved an old man sitting in regret with a Nihilistic and bitter view of life due to not taking the opportunities given to him with him then re-living the part of his past where he was given the opportunity that he didn't take. 
• As a collective we landed on the theme of 'Courage' 
• We then came up with the idea of setting the piece within World War 2 
• We then decided to incorporate the idea of basing the piece around an important decision which would have an outcome that would affect many different people. 
• From there we began creating a moment of physicality as a bench mark surrounding the person with the decision to make.
