Week 2 stage design piece

Week 2- Stage design Piece.

Description:

The area we are working in for Guantanamo Bay is rectangle and has a small stage to the side. Along the top of the room there are black pipes.

Opportunities: 

We could use the whole room in our performance, moving from area to area creating different scenes as we go. The side stage could be used to create a sense of different levels; to create more atmosphere. The windows should be blacked out to create a more dark and gloomy affect; creating more emotion and feeling within the audience. We can create a good segment of the play in this room. We can have chairs in the room for the actors/ actresses for certain scenes we have ideas for and we can have a projector in the room to project images of Guantanamo Bay. The ceiling pipes can have strobe lights hanging from them to create a more exciting affect and can create a sense of shock and fear. We can make a good use of the walls by sticking newspaper articles up and covering the floor with them. We can also put them on the floor.
