We all got given 5 pictures each and were told to create a story just with those 5 pictures (inspired by Forced Entertainment)

MY STORY -
''its pouring with rain so Pauline runs to shelter. All is well and good as she slowly dries off until a speeding car skids through and splashes a massive muddy puddle against her she is drenched from head to toe, her shoes are dripping and as she walks to find somewhere to dry off she finds a box of grit sitting beneath a brick wall she opens up the box of grit, meanwhile a seagull starts flying at her thinking she's a fish, Pauline runs to safety through a fire exit in a corner however as she enters she is greeted by a 5 men from Tokyo who give her dry clothes''
I found this task quite challenging as there wasn't a lot to create a story out of. It showed me that you can create a whole idea/story etc. out of pretty much anything. I believe that this works as a really good and beneficial exercise as it helps you think 'outside the box' and potentially create a story that doesn't make logical sense which is perfect for experimental work. I think its good that I found it challenging as it really stretched me and allowed me to go slightly out my comfort zone as I usually want things perfected and logical but this really changed my thought process when doing this task so I personally think it is such a simple but extremely effective task.
We then got into groups of around 4/5 and each person told their story. We had a wide range from people who were in the storys themselves (1st person) or simply narrating their storys taking us through their story like a guide. This was interesting as everyone in my group had similar looking pictures yet, all the stories differed massively and were all told in completely contrasting ways.

We then got into pairs along with our pictures and we could either keep all 10 or get rid of a few. We then created a new story with those pictures, portraying it through a performance. I found this extremely exciting and gave me a real taster of creating performance work that doesnt necessarilly make perfect logical sense. We were allowed to perform it in any way we wanted to whether that be physical/naturalistic/abstract, anything and everything was good.
After this task we then got into our duo/trio groups to begin discussing/devising something for our live art TATE inspired pieces. I am with Oscar and Mateus and we found this task really challenging as there was no limits to what we could do therefore we felt there was no path we could directly follow when deciding upon our idea.
We began by presenting to one another our pieces of art that we felt most inspired by. This helped give us a wider range of thought provoking pieces of art to inspire us for our live art pieces.
