Practical issues need to be taken into consideration for every performance, both for health and safety reasons and budget conditions for overall cost of performance. Here are the relevant sources I have looked at in relation to a professional production.
Health and Safety issues.
- Permission gained by Garry Richardson to write on glass panels of the bridge with glass pens/chinographic pencils.
- Gone through performance with tutor to amend any dangers to myself and/or audience members.
Cost of performance with regards to props/costume/location.
- Cost of location of performance: free as public space.
- Cost of printing 10 Bansky posters:
- White Victorian dress: £15
- Make-up: all own.
- Flowers, scissors, iPod deck, song sheets: all own.
- 24 red helium filled balloons attached with ribbon:£15.98
- x1 red Chinographic pencil: £2.21
- x1 white Chinographic pencil: £2.21
Possible problems that could affect the performance.
-
The balloons may become too heavy, restricting me of movement. They could be too light and interrupt my performance, distracting both myself and audience.
- The weather may influence certain aspects of the performance. If it is raining, I will not be able to write on the bridge panels as it will be too wet. I will also not be able to use my iPod deck and iPhone to supply music to the song. The song will still be included however it will be sung acapella.
- Lack of audience: It will be difficult to not attract an audience due to location, but a lack of responses would not make sense. This would therefore effect my narrative.
Banksy posters have also been posted around the University. Some have been put up along the walk to Uni through campus, some in the LPAC and some in the library. I hope that students will see these and recognise me when they may/may not see me perform.
