We got given a task in lesson to walk somewhere in Lincoln and come back a different way while documenting our journey. The idea was to notice things that we would not normally notice, such as things on the floor or architecture that has been right infront of us the whole time if only we spared the time to look. This idea of noticing the unnoticed could be an idea for our Site Speciffic, by making a piece of drama that would make people aware of some of the beautiful architecture that surrounds Lincoln would be an accomplishment. Without relising until we were walking vertically up Steep Hill we were walking to the catherdral. On our travels we took photographs and voice recordings when anything of interest happened, for example we found a bottle of weed killer in the middle of no-where and we also got stopped by the train line going there and back. It is the little things like this we documented. While on our journey we were on the look out for a potential site for our final performance.

Our journey started from Studio 2 in the LPAC, up to the cathedral and back down the hill. On Our journey we all noticed how the city seemed to change the moment we started to walk up Steep Hill. The city starts to feel like you are going back through the ages because of the buildings that surround Steep Hill obviously have been there for quite sometime. One of the building that caught our eye is Jews Court a building with so much horrific history that has now been transformed in to a bookshop. The atmosphere started to change the moment we went through the doors of the cathedral, we noted that we all became quite and reserved while in the cathedral and appreciated our surroundings with thoughts rather than speech. Upon exiting the catherdral and walking back a different way a bottle of ‘Weedol Max Weed Killer’ caught our eye on a stone ledge with no one around, we started to guess how it got there and why it was there when no plants or grass was around. Our walk then took us to the Lincoln Gallery where we only stayed a short while before moving on to Danesgate and then back to our starting point. The walk got me thinking about how Lincoln goes from old to new only by walking up Steep Hill and whether we could incorporate that into our Site Specific performance.

As we have not yet decided for defiant and still very open to what we want to accomplish in our final peformance, we took the chance we had today to get some ideas and talk about what each of us would like to do. We had ideas ranging from a sketch show to physical theatre. We all liked the idea though to incorporate film and physical theatre together. We are still unsure what to do with this decision but it is starting to look like a very promising piece of drama.
