justine's feedback from second nunnery workshop- 19th february

notes from comments justine (MA fine art) made;

as with each of the participants, i let them experience the work then they fed back to me before we then discussed it

1. i felt like a palm reader- magical aspect, but also too much like a counselling session
2. felt quite intimidating experience, maybe also like a counselling session
3. lab like feel
4. too much performing- needs to be more natural, felt like she was being told a text that had already been repeated
5. tone changed- chatty then story performing- stay natural
6. quiet parts were quite meditative, silences
7. too fast, slow down
8. liked the fact it was a random moment from life, which became a shared moment, familiarity of this
9. didnt think the projection/video was needed- too complicated
10. felt quite exposed 'confessing' about objects
11. temporal aspect lost if recording footage to then playback- think about this
12. found it embarrassing hearing her story again through the video camera
13. liked displaying the photographs

i think this has been the strongest response to the piece, i certainly do not wish to make people feel intimidated and need to consider this more. i felt very nervous particularly on this one as justine has a lot of photography experience which was why i wanted her viewpoint maybe but gave me a better insight maybe to the general public at the show as not a performance student. must work on putting people at ease?
