Audience Instructions
I only have one instruction for my audience: 'Don't be afraid to look inside and discover more'.
There is a whole life going on inside of the box, and there are reasons to stay inside as well as the need to escape. By peering through the holes in the box, there are pictures and sounds for them to discover that may give them a greater understanding of what I am aiming to communicate.
Safety instructions
The only thing that poses a hazard is navigating the darkness. There will be fairy lights on the floor to provide some idea of the space, but I ask that the audience navigate the corridor with caution to avoid collision with other audience members. A board with a notice of caution will be positioned at the entrance to remind the audience of this.
Aerial Map of Site
This is an aerial map of my site, which is the long corridor next to the CAP classrooms. The site is actually a 'C' shape, with stairs at either end. The path leading to my piece is rather straight forward, and I have ensured that my box will not obstruct the fire escape in anyway (as shown on the left of the diagram).
I have indicated the possible footpaths for audience with arrows along the corridor, so that I can be well prepared for the possible ways that audience may interact with my piece and the angles that they may approach it from. This allows me to plan the direction I'll face when performing, and which slots I'll post cranes out of.
Ideal Audience numbers
As the corridor is rather expansive, large numbers of audience members could enter at any time and the space wouldn't become claustrophobic, but as the centre of the piece is rather small (the cardboard box), and only a maximum of four people could peer in at one time, I think my ideal audience number is around five or six. A small crowd would also keep the 'empty' quality of the site, which adds to the cold and detached feeling of the piece, as well as the fact that a large crowd could bring a lot of noise that I think would remove tension from the scene and distract me.
