We walked around the space again, I made sure that Morris Room will be the best for me. It is the smallest of three, but also the darkest which is great for the projections and most intimate. It also has areas where people will be able to draw and a great space by the window for the violinist. My only concern now is getting the right projectors and making sure they work. The ultra short throw looked good but it’s also super heavy and big and I’m worried about it not being available when I need it. The other ones are really small so I worry they are not strong enough to work when the room is not blacked out. I will need to run some tests at home and see. I also don’t want the audience to feel intimidated by the projectors presence and humming and to be able to hear the dancers voice from the speaker. In my crit when I showed the lamp Felicity noticed that the ribbons reminded her of gymnasts ribbons attached to sticks and that she would like to see the lamp and ribbons moving, like dancing, like some sort of movement. And that was exactly what I was thinking about and discussing with Jonathan for my Workshop at Two Temple Place and was going to drop the idea as I worried there is nowhere to hang it. So now I am thinking I should definitely find a way to hang in from the chandelier in the middle of the room. Next to the dancer, who will be absolutely incredible and I am now even more excited about this workshop than I was before. Maybe I should hide the speaker in the lamp in the middle of the room, hanging from the chandelier?
