ppp

We spoke about the stimulus of the ppp last class and we learned how to research it and how to use it in order to develop a good concept. Once you have the stimulus you look for it in google images because it gives you a very graphical idea of what the stimulus is. After that you search for information you. Have to understand everything about it, not only superficially like how does it look like but what are the beleifs of that element, for example a jaguar or angels. Once you have researched a LOT you do a mental map in order to see all the ideas from the stimulus together and develop a concept. If your stimulus is angels for example you can't choose a concept like: "everybody will have wings in the play" because it is too superficial, is a physical characteristic of angels and that shows no research at all because that concept could have been developed from the simple look at the picture of it or not even that, just from general knowledge. What could be an interesting concept is the idea that they don't have a specific sex, there are no males or females. That could be a very good concept in which you can use the characteristics of one sex to empower the other. For example you make a play with very tough women like lady macbeth, medea and abihail they 3 have "male" characteristics according to the stereotypes and in a way this makes them very powerful. This will create a much more interesting view of the play than the fact tht everybody wears wings.
