On initial reaction to the task at hand I was anxious I don’t know much about the actual venue we are performing in other than it was a horse racing track and as a group we are going to view it next week but my mind is still brewing some ideas we could incorporate into our piece. The idea of it being disused and run down is actually something that interests me greatly for some reason. You could put forward the idea of it being alone. From pictures I have had a glimpse at I get the impression of something dead. A very macabre idea obviously, but from the images I have seen it seems to be a shell of what it once was.

I’m still really onto the idea of having something eerie take place here. I love the idea of ghosts, spirits or something along those lines finding this little building as a new home. Nothing says bloodcurdling and goose bump enduring quite like a horde of zombie horse jockeys scrambling towards a unwilling audience or even recreate the legend of Sleepy Hollow and have the headless horseman come to collect the souls of those foolish enough to come but of course this is coming from somebody who wouldn’t last 5 seconds watching any horror film so I digress.

Of course I am only joking as my opinion of this building could be changed completely upon going to visit the place but right now from basic media and visuals I have seen alone the only theme I can think of is along that of incorporating some element of horror or suspense. The initial idea of spirits or something dark happening is something I just can’t stop circling my mind. It’s actually exciting me to see how we can all put our ideas into this.

Again, as previously mentioned I have some ideas in my head that could be put forward but until I actually go to see the place I can’t get a real grasp for the tone of the place.
