The Outline

I found diagrams in scripts of the previous plays the Drama Group have performed - suggested sets - they are outlines reminiscent of the blueprints of the church. I started tracing these outlines onto the same page. Layering the suggested sets for different shows. Walls collide. Furniture overlaps. A table on a chair on a bed. I started thinking about tracing the sets onto the same space. This could be the setting for the installation. They remind me of Dogville or the chalk outlines of a body or the aesthetics of experimental theatre. Uninvited Guest's masking taped architecture, The Wooster Group's onstage constructions and Forced Entertainment's crude stages. The promise of the real that fails to deliver. The presence of pretence. A possible dissertation title. The project has now got three strands.

Act One - The Production - The Church on Rise Park
Act Two - The Installation - The Powerhouse
Act Three - The Dissertation - The Critical Review with Interviews
