Continuing to struggle with coming up with our concept for the ideas we liked in the lesson before. So we went back to thinking about ideas we could use where me and Dan M suggested an idea we had thought up before the lesson. Me and Dan were thinking about the mental asylum idea we had a few lessons ago because we both were very fond of this idea and managed to come with away we could turn it into a whole performance, Me and Dan came up with introducing a physiatrist to the mental asylum to evaluate the workings of it but the doctor there would be a very dodgy one who mistreats patients. Everyone like the suggestion enough to look into it further by coming up with their own ideas for patients in the list (look at picture).
Me and Dom both wanted to be the psychiatrist so everyone said we will be tried out next lesson for it. Overall I feel very confident about site specific now as we gave managed to agree on our concept for Fort Amherst so we can now move on to making it. The collection of characters we have will make a very interesting display of mental illnesses and some more realistic ones. We are going to set this in the 60's as it will help us create our dodgy asylum as the knowledge know about the mind was far less back then and what asylums could do was a lot less strict which gives us more creative room to use our deranged collection of characters forced into the asylum together. The asylum idea works with Fort amherst as we have heard other forts in Medway and the country have been turned into temporary asylums before. So our asylum will be a part of a changed history where the fort was converted to the asylum but never back as the asylum was a useful place for storing the deranged people.
