- PPP : Set / Stage Possibilities .

Brechtian Influence:






Treadmill Stage: 
running belts on the stage floor that, when active, provide the illusion of movement though characters stay stationary. 


Options: Transitions from one setting to the other without a scene change
Disadvantages: Background and set, depending on complexity, would have to move at the same rate as the person. If the set is complicated and consists of more physical properties rather than projections, it makes it difficult to coordinate.


Interactive LED Floor :
Possible Options: Showing footprints in ashes of the fallen church. Showing path of fire in response to the dictator.
Disadvantages: Can LED project dark colors? How could you position the audience for them to see the floor effects, but not have the quality of the production limited. Would you be able to make a treadmill out of an LED floor?

Video Projection Mapping :

Possible Options: Allows for change of set between exterior and interior of church, as well as inside the house of person A without a scene change. Ex the scene can continue, while characters walk on the treadmill. It allows for smooth transitions because the set would change as the characters moved.
Disadvantages: The image at times would be cast upon the characters themselves. May be too detailed of a set in regarding relevance of the storyline: Whats the focus?
