Unfortunately after discussing my ideas with the module co-ordinator, I have now been sent back to the drawing board as my ideas were not sustainable. I am at a lost cause and feel like I have nothing to show for all the hard work I have done. However after discussions around why my performance wouldn’t work, I can understand some practical issues raised. Why would an audience want to come and observe my life? It is a good autobiographical performance however I now feel I would like to pursue something non-autobiographical.. the performance aspect of my original idea would be difficult to produce as the main body of the performance would be the exhibition. This would also differentiate myself from the rest of the group in wanting to do something objective. I feel that the problem with Solo Performance is the want for it to be original, unqiue and in some ways revolutionary. This is where I feel I am restricting myself, I need to acknowledge that my performance might be simple yet very powerful.

I still have ideas surrounding the nostalgia of the 90’s and reactions to emotive music but I’m not sure as of yet what my Solo Performance will consist of. Nevertheless, this has taught me that not ‘anything’ and ‘everything’ can constitute Solo Performance and that with every bit of rough, SHOULD come a ton of smooth.
