Issues when writing 130,000

During the process of writing I encountered issues which effected the written play and lead to cuts and edits having to be made.

The issue was regarding the original style the group had in mind for the performance. The original idea was that the performance would be very technical, with the use of many forms of multimedia including projection, sound and lighting. Whilst the sound and lighting were still very important to the performance, the use of them was lessened from what we had originally envisioned due to the stylistic change. Any use of projection was disregarded after the stylistic changes made by the director.

This effected the original script, which I had written to accommodate this technically heavy approach we had focused on at the beginning of the process. Moments in the script had been included to use projection, as well as more sound and lighting being used.

However the director decided the technical side of the performance was unnecessary and potentially distracting for such an intense performance. With this, edits were made to the script as a way of keeping the scenes we had, yet removing some of the technical aspects.
