Today, I downloaded some voice clips from my dad in which he answered the following questions:
- What comes to mind when you hear the word Cornwall?
- What does Cornwall mean to you?
- Imagine you are at the beach right now, what are you seeing/feeling/hearing/smelling?
- What makes Cornwall different to other places you have been?
- What is your history with Cornwall?
​
With his answers, I intend to show the community and fellowship that rural areas provide through the lens of my dad and his childhood in Cornwall. I wish to contrast this to the loneliness and isolation that exists in city and urban areas.
​
I also began on my overall script/score that includes the order of my piece so far. This helps me to keep track of my texts and gage the flow of my performance on paper. For projections, I downloaded the latest QLab and created a picture montage showing the sights of Cornwall. This will assist my narrator role weather check ins.

Today I got to see a potential scaffolding structure to use as a part of my set. I also recorded the sounds of it being set up as it gave off strong industrial, metal noises. It could also be a means of a structure that could hold projections on.
​
I completed check in no.2 of my narrative text.
