since I thought of using the black boards as the part of set design. its thought which made sense for performance..I am wanting to use 7 black boards. the exact size and measurement is still to be find out.
I see the balck boards as the object, which was used to transmit information from teachers to us the students ..from our culture to us , the ones who went to school to be educated ( to cultivate our minds which were just instinctive like the animals ..to be cultured, to understand what kind of socitey are we going to be part of ..what is the relegion of this society..what kind of subjects are existing in this society ..how developed are we ?what is our history ?..what is the history of the world? what is the grammar of our language and other languages? ..in those early years blackboard seemed to be the place we gazed and gazed. some time the mathematical formulas other times notes from our teacher and then some time we wrote slang ..the name of the body parts which were tabu in our culture
( CHOOT(posy):::LAND(Dick)::ChOOOdo(fuck fuck), CHUTAD( ass) and so much more .some times , we even drew the shapes ..as of now we know that kids in early age are curious and use these word, its because of their curiousness about these body parts
And its is so strange that in english its easy to just say these word , but in Hindi these words feel full of shame, crud, uncomfortable (I mean the association to these words).
also the black bird also became the place where I gazed and got lost in the day dreams....it was this black and white writing and wiping of the chalk ..the dust from the chalk and so on the appearing and disappearing of the letters and numbers ..gave something to that mind which was in the stage of development..camapred to the text of a book which is written and can't be rewritten once printed ..it exists..
the things on black board exist and disappear nothing is there to stay, its a very interesting object, to project ur subject .
so now in terms of the piece I even see blck board as a news Chanel, with headlines like BREAKING NEWS,
I can also see it as a text book of a young boy who is drawing naked torso of women !
also the writing from the regions books
and the mere abstract white appearing and become a sort of cloud !
also the blackbords can be used to form structure like a building !
i am just starting to think of the black boards as black boards but also what is there metaphoric value to our piece and how can we explore its use ?
yesterday i saw the movie BLACKBOARDS, the young director from IRAN who made it,
so i am putting the links below for u to see and make observations.
