I think much of my group's approach is to make people feel a bit unsettled and uncomfortable. Part of this will come through in our deliberate staging and spatial configurations of the audience. We think putting people in the round will force everyone to see each other, which will in a way increase discomfort by emphasizing an accountability factor. We're also interested in bringing about this uneasy feeling through a constant rumble that becomes more noticeable and enveloping as time goes on. This piece between the 9.5 min and 14.5 min mark demonstrates something along those lines.

Week 4- Hannah M
My group is interested in exploring a sonic build that begins with natural, atmospheric sounds and morphs into something more artificial, synthetic-sounding. We're looking at climate change and humans' exploitation of the environment. An image we're thinking about are glaciers melting and the cracking of ice, which will potentially uncover a dirtier/glassier sound further along in our piece. This track is pretty open and reflects how we may set the space up.

I'm intrigued to see how this plays out, especially when comparing it to other notions of what an environmental protest piece could look like in this class. You may be in the same group as others who've posted about protesting on the environment, I'm not sure. Seeing how these performances will play out movement-wise will also be interesting, counterpoint or underscore, etc.
