Well, the reason my post title is so ambiguous this week, is because as a group we haven't yet decided completely on what the question / title of our group project will be. We know that we would like to concentrate on the use of new media in theatre, and that we would like to create a performance piece together as we are theatre students and that is our area of interest / main area of study!
So we find ourselves with a small amount of difficulty in choosing our question, much like trying to find the ultimate question to the ultimate answer of life, the universe and everything!
A preliminary version of the question was suggested as:
"The use of new media as a focal point in a live theatre performance".
This was commented upon by Andy (one of our project supervisors) as a good start, but we all got the feeling it was not quite good enough.
Another thing we discussed this week was our roles within the group. We all have to be assessed individually and as such, all need a specific area of research to be graded on. As we are doing a creative piece, we have decided that Paco's area of research will be Directors and Directing, Kathryn will be looking into the New Media side of things while I shall be concentrating on Writers and Writing.
Since then, I have discovered my love for creative writing, through writing ideas for stories and scripts. I have also done a little research into play writes, novelists (with the possibility of adaptation in mind) and writers of more recent forms of media, (film, television, etc).
More when there is more to talk about!
