What is the project?
The project this year is called ‘River’s Deep – If these stones could speak’ and it is about the stones and creatures that live in the Rover Wye which runs through Hereford. The piece will be performed as part of Hereford's River Carnival. The script includes characters such as stones, leeches and toads. The script will be performed at the Left Bank which is a building that is used for wedding receptions, functions, etc. The performance will start at the top of the building and work its way down. This symbolises the stone (one of the main characters) sinking in the river. One of the main aspects to consider about this performance is that all of the audio will be pre-recorded. The children will record this audio in the recording studio here at college on a Wednesday afternoon. The audience will be wearing headphones throughout the performance so that they are able to hear the children. This idea was proposed when feedback from last year’s performance included that the audience had difficultly hearing the children at some points throughout the show. Having the audio pre-recorded will allow the audience to hear everything that the children are saying and therefore will be able to follow the story better. This type of performance is known as an immersive performance because the audience will be wearing headsets, therefore this will cut them off from the rest of the world and get them to listen to the audio and watch the children perform.
