Girls Gone Wild - Red LIght District and Devising Unit

-The girls started almost like this was a performance for the people on the street, but they then used it to drop a message after everyone had gotten into it and surprise them - they were enjoying themselves and weren’t expecting it
-I was very confused at first and wasn’t sure what was going on and why they had started dancing
-The music and actions were kind of intense and the red lights and dark colors made it seem surreal in a way.
-Women on display in windows

The idea that people think that they are just watching a performance but they are tricked into receiving an important message, while at the same time (in the girls case in the video) the performers have been tricked as well. It also creates a greater impact on the audience when they don’t see it coming and were just enjoying themselves, especially because they were part of the problem.

People trying to ignore or avoid a reality that they might not like or that makes them uncomfortable, even though they might know about it.

Ideas for devising:
- Leading the audience on and then twisting the ending by revealing that the characters had been tricked
