Taking Lincoln by foot this week, we hoped to see the city in a new light with the intention of discovering options for a future site for our final performance. Ensuring that we did not become sidetracked from the point of this outing, we were asked to pick a site and to document the journey there and back, making certain we came back a different way to the way in which we got there. As documentation, my group and I took pictures of moments we felt were significant to our journey.

Although the most obvious site in Lincoln to visit is the Cathedral, we did not purposely decide to end up there. After meeting as a group just once before this session, we were still very open to what we wanted to achieve for this module. Although we all were keen to incorporate an element of Physical Theatre alongside film in one way or another, as for idea of performance and destination, our basket was empty. The feeling was mutual to look for an outdoor space, where we could really come to terms with the site, and working close by the Cathedral was an initial idea of bringing the historical context of the city together with the present day. As the criteria for the module is so broad, and far from what is considered ‘normal theatre’, having an outdoor performance would allow a greater variety of audience, with the hope of attracting someone who has never seen anything like it before, and furthering their knowledge of what should be considered theatre.
