In our group we had been talking about fungi and mushrooms as a source of inspiration for whatever work we would end up creating this semester. Vaclav Halek seems to have the right idea! Every day he finds wild mushrooms and composes new works essentially based on how they make him feel. He has been doing this for decades and is a very inspiring character.




We also discussed color scheme. I found a video of a live show that Wilco performed in Brussels last year, and fell in love with concert itself as well as the colors that the lighting designer used throughout the show and the set itself. Perhaps we can explore set design as well.



We also briefly discussed how costume design might come into play in our performance. I tried searching for a performance that incorporated some interactive costume. The first four minutes of this video proved to be interesting visually in many ways. What caught my eye though was how costume was integrated into the performance. I really only watched the first couple of minutes of this video, it is fairly long.
