Today I met Vita and Nikki over at the drake to work with the actors in Thing Ummy Bob development. (about 2 hours) We listened to the song a couple times then had a brainstorm session with possible performance ideas and object designs. It was interesting to here what the actors bounce ideas off each other in such quick succession. Some of the major points taken away from the session were:
-Contrasting beautiful women with work environment
-"cute song" contrasted with dirty/gritty labor
-Slow build of structure-one object at a time changing projections with each addition
-The idea of not knowing what your making but being enthusiastic about it "we're going to win the war!"
-Music created by motion
-Possibly building the thing ummy bob out of objects women are "supposed" to be familiar with (ex. sewing machines)
-Possibly ending with a surreal steam punk type mechanical object.
Time to start sketching.
