Looking at more texts and manifestos
A manifesto of a little girl eating and ice cream which was something that could be seen as secual on an older woman in this day became a big point of discussion for us and gave us something to extend and elobarate on, a lot of us liked the contradiction which this created visually seeing a little girl and an older woman doing a simple thing eating a lollipop. we workshopped different scenes using this visual idea and came up with some strong ideas and decided this was one of the ideas we wanted to incooperate into the play, it dealt with social norms and societies warped perceptions of things and we felt it was interesting to perhaps visually present a projection on a pair of lips sucking on a lollipop giving off sexual inuendos only to be zoomed out on slowly to reveal a child to the disgust of the audience. We felt something as simple as that could lead to a reaction and allow people to open their eyes and become less ignorant to whats going on around us in our society today, how people are brainwashed by images from the media and how our minds work and why. This pice made us comment on how media has made our consumers mind so open to sexualisation of everything it also lead us to work on how different socities act in different situations and how they may potray something differently to us if from a non western society.
