Case study: Forms
introduction | themes | forms

Following are some suggested forms which workshop participants considered:

Masks. A means of revealing or hiding identity. May be made from bread to be eaten.

A masked ball/party

Singing, percussion & dancing

A "gamelan" orchestra made form accurately tuned car parts.

A car boot sale with scenes and puppet shows revealed in the car boot.

Procession, e.g. "car of dreams" as hobby horses or worn as a dodgem on braces or yolk.

Cars of dream worn as individual hobby horses or dodgems carried by brace or yolk. Choreograph a "flypast" of a group of cars.

Carnival. Large images capable of transformation - possibly a large seed pod to be buried, dug up, paraded and burnt. Fireseed.

Karaoke. A comic/surreal presentation of a selection of records as examples of period style/worst/best cliche. Maybe car or bush songs, and songs of suburbia.

Costume, eg full body costumes with furry bits.

Pottery/kilns. Modelled on cars and presented outside in a zodiac. Could be used for cooking bread masks.

"Car Henge" - recreate Stonehenge with car bodies.
