Firstly there were many issues regarding presentation. The white sheet spread across the floor, somehow invited the viewer into stepping onto it, which i actually understood, as it was a sense of invitation onto the set. However because the sheet was not stuck down properly this meant it was moved around and crumpled making the work look very different, and the sheet got very dirty. I think also this was because it was near the door so people felt more inclined to step on it.
The sound was also a problem, as it was a crucial part to the video performance however it could not be heard because the speaker was not loud enough. I did think about using headphones, however this was not right for the piece as pantomime is about unified audience, and that could not be through singular headphone use. Perhaps in hindsight I should've displayed it in another area, a more separate place with chairs to sit down so that there was an audience, or somehow created an environment where people would want to and feel comfortable sitting down on the sheet in front, to create an audience.
However in forcing them to be more a part of this, would it be false, as it is all about my thoughts and my mind which someone can never enter.
