Many of our pieces have involved audience such as me an rachels Light/Dart. I like to work in this way as the outcome of the whole piece rests on the audience's decisions and i like the risk factor involved with that. Light/Dart didnt go as smoothly as planned but as an experiment it was successfull and, for me, fun to experience the audiences reactions when left to their own devices.
For Light/Dart and the assessment before hand with the projectors, the audience were a large part of the performance. meaning that there would not have been a performance without the audience participating. A development to this work would be to perform it to the general public as then there may be more of a range of outcomes and the risk of sabotage would increase.
As said in our feed back our projection piece had similarities to Marina Abramovic's Rhythm 0 and i can agree with that point although Rhythm 0 was much more risky as the audience were able to use objects on a real body as opposed to our audience drawing objects which were projected onto a body.
As i said before Light/Dart was an experiment, as was our projections piece. What i descovered with the projection piece was that while some of the audience did what i expected (drawing boobs and penis's) some of the audience were very creative and i think that devising work in this way with an audience could lead to some very original work. Kinda wish i had thought of doing that earlier on in the course!
