Talk:Audience Response to "Carragheen Moss"/@comment-4669321-20120123214317/@comment-198.186.250.252-20120123214628

The set design is an old parachute. One of my professors had it laying around, and I knew I wanted to use it somehow in my piece. To be honest, I can't quite remember if the set design initiated my idea to create a 'world', or if the parachute just happened to compliment my preconceived idea of creating the 'world'. But nevertheless, I wanted to make the project something more than just a dance piece; I wanted it to include other artistic elements to be part of the whole. I think the parachute really helped with that, and especially with my 'atmospheric' idea... (it's hard to see in the video, but the top of the parachute draped down over the dancers like a canopy). What I really liked about audience feedback is how many different words people used to talk about the parachute: netting, spider web, cloth, big flower, etc. The parachute's actual identity was not obvious, so I felt like audiences could create a world of their own. - Melissa
