In our work in progress today, I found we need to work on intimacy. Even though I was on laptop typing anonymously to them, it was still an intimate setting, only myself and performer reading it, sharing secrets and habits.

I felt if I had longer time, the questions and talk was on the surface, I believe to go deeper and share more intimate things, I would need the time to gain trust, for the conversation to naturally go deeper.

“Traditionally, theatre has been a communal experience, but Lois Keidan of the Live Art Development Agency argues that in the age of the internet, the opportunity for audiences to have face-to-face encounters in real time with real people is enormously appealing. “It feels more real than real life,” she says, “and because it isn’t a mass experience you know that nobody is going to have the same experience as you have. It makes the event unique and it makes you feel special.”

This quote is what I inspire to do, make my audience feel unique and special, whether I am on the hugging station, the laptop station or the greeting. I want to make my audience feel special, to go with our theme of child -like, unadulterated, I want to take them through this experience and to feel special by the time it comes to the ending.

I feel I need to do a practice run and see how it goes with the natural time of the piece.
