WEEK 6

Final spatial experience/performance video 2.

I created this video more for the presentation that we have to carry out on Thursday. It is a lot shorter but still shows a lot of our process. This is our final video.

WEEK 6

Final spatial experience/performance video 1.

This video that I put together is the longer out of the two I have created. This was used to show off our experience in a bit more depth and detail. It is better at capturing the atmosphere and the environment.

WEEK 5

Video of a problem that we encountered. We realised that our cuts were not going to make sufficient flaps because they would fall inside of the dish instead of resting on top. We decided that instead of the audience folding back the flap, we will have the flap initially open so the food is instantly visible as you walk into the space.

WEEK 5

Putting our ideas into action:

At this stage of the assignment we have refined our ideas to a point to where we can start to put together our final table layout and start on crafting the cardboard structure that we are going to put on the top of our table. This is used to elevate the dishes we are using off the table slightly, so it seems like a more realistic experience. We also need to cut the segments out of the tablecloth to create the flaps that our audience will eat out of.

WEEK 4

Lighting tests, experimenting with focussed lighting. We had the idea to set the lighting very focussed on each individual dining space to try and resemble how surgeons tend to work under handheld lights when operating on a patient. However, we could not figure out a way for each participant to have a light of their own so we decided to use a few of the studio lights instead. I think the result is very effective. - credit Tayla and Josh

WEEK 4

Story boards that I put together to map out our performance stages/ideas. This gave us some more insight into some issues in our process including how we start our experience, how we finish and the transitions between the groups. The main thing that I was trying to communicate here was the narrative and how everything is going to plan out just so we have a visual idea of what we are going to do. It was also very useful to have to show our lecturers so they could give us feedback on our process development. The second storyboard is the more refined of the two because it shoes more stages of our performance. The first storyboard was my first attempt.

WEEK 4

Another mood board that was put together showing the aesthetic similarities between surgery and butchery, enhancing our idea of highlighting the humanisation of butchery. - credit Alicha

WEEK 4

Short video that our group created to physically perform our ideas. Made us think more about interaction and the stages of our performance. - credit Tayla

WEEK 4

This was a very helpful video that I found demonstrating how to prepare for a surgical procedure in the operating room. It shows the complete attire and taught me some extra steps that we will need to keep in mind for our performance including:

- keeping your hands situated above your waist and below your neck (around your upper torso area). This ensures maximum hygiene, this is the safest place to keep your hands.

- keeping documentation of each patient and each person that enters the operating room for the patients safety and comfort. Also used to keep track of what operation is needed.

- gloves are needed to be replaced every two hours (probably wont apply to our performance)

WEEK 4

Surgical attire research: Some research that I carried out to get a greater understanding of surgical practice and attire. I want our performance to be an immersive experience and to do this, the performers must follow real surgeon procedures.

The tenets of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) include professionalism, excellence, inclusion, innovation, and introspection. Appropriate attire is a reflection of professionalism and facilitates establishing and maintaining a patient-physician rapport based on trust and respect. In addition, in so far as clean and properly worn attire may decrease the incidence of health care-associated infections, it also speaks to a desire and drive for excellence in clinical outcomes and a commitment to patient safety.The ACS guidelines for appropriate attire are based on professionalism, common sense, decorum, and the available evidence. They are as follows:

- Soiled scrubs and/or hats should be changed as soon as feasible and certainly prior to speaking with family members after a surgical procedure.

- Scrubs and hats worn during dirty or contaminated cases should be changed prior to subsequent cases even if not visibly soiled.

- Masks should not be worn dangling at any time.

- Operating room (OR) scrubs should not be worn in the hospital facility outside of the OR area without a clean lab coat or appropriate cover up over them.

- OR scrubs should not be worn at any time outside of the hospital perimeter.

- OR scrubs should be changed at least daily.

- During invasive procedures, the mouth, nose, and hair (skull and face) should be covered to avoid potential wound contamination. Large sideburns and ponytails should be covered or contained. There is no evidence that leaving ears, a limited amount of hair on the nape of the neck or a modest sideburn uncovered contributes to wound infections.

- Earrings and jewellery worn on the head or neck where they might fall into or contaminate the sterile field should all be removed or appropriately covered during procedures.

- The ACS encourages clean appropriate professional attire (not scrubs) to be worn during all patient encounters outside of the OR.
