Kate Dawson's Site Specific Performance

Final Preparations…

We have sourced all our props and costumes including a blood pressure monitor for Rebecca, the doctor and some climbing equipment for Paige, the climber.

We were unable to get hold of was a boom-box to play the music for our warm-up. Instead, we have decided to perform the warm-up at Jessica’s flat and then walk to Steep Hill for our 11am start.

We have also discussed costume changes for our performance. The initial idea was to use elaborate costumes to draw attention to ourselves, however, after our recent practice runs we have realised that complex costumes will be too impractical and will hinder our progress. Instead we will use simple but effective elements of costume to highlight our individual roles, such as a helmet for the climber and sweat bands for the fitness instructor.

The final part of our preparation process was to create two A3 posters to put up at the top and bottom of Steep Hill, to inform passersby of our challenge. This is what we created:
