We used the straight lines made by the brickwork in our site as the starting developing point for our transition moments. For example, we began to think about how we could incorporate our story with the lines given from the site and decided to link it to lines in the formation of the army. This directly links into our story's exploration of World War 2 and helped create a transition to each level that was relevant and developed from the site itself. To incorporate this, we got Andrea and Chloe to move in parallel straight lines up the stairs as if they were in the army - this was to echo the line work in the brick formation. The hardness and density of the brickwork was also incorporated as they were extremely firm, distinct and hard hitting in their movements against the metal staircases - an attempt to conjure up the feelings given from the colours and decoration of the bricks.
Not only do I feel was this a creative way to introduce the war aspect into the piece, but it also allowed us to incorporate the different offers made from the site in an interesting way. However, I would have liked to have explored it further in greater detail to make the link between the site and the transition more distinct as I didn't feel that was extremely clear to the audience and may have been lost.
