Some ideas i generated were
Giving the audience a number, this idea would show the audience they are a prisoner and also would give them a sense of their individuality being taken away, during the performance they would be refereed to as that number.
Putting tape over our mouth's to finish the play, this idea would show our freedom of speech being taken away.
Reading of the national anthem, i researched that in North Korean schools they have to learn patriotic songs and speeches and presented this idea to the group.
Instrumental music in the background, i felt that to create the atmosphere of a north Korean labour camp there should be some intense instrumental music which sound mechanical and unnatural, the group nine inch nails has perfect songs for this environment.
Propaganda posters around the room, after feedback telling us our location wasn't shown enough we felt that we could have propaganda posters in the corridor before the audience arrives.
Kim Jon Un speeches hanging from the bars, this idea wouldn't be seen by everyone in the audience but would show what the rest of north Korea is presented with and how they are supposed to live outside outside the camp.
The final room plan is an open space with a sweat box in the centre and a podium off to the side, the audience will be directed to the area of the room where each scene is by the members of our group who are cast as guards and there will be lots of order and direction as there is in North Korea.
