Last week the class went on a trip to the London docklands museum but i unfortunately missed it due to being unorganised. We both understood that this was a very important trip and that if we missed it we would have a HUGE disadvantage in starting our assignments and blog so we decided that after the class we were in we would go to the museum, its a lovely day outside so why not.
Here are some photos of things we saw which inspired us to come up with the 'final' idea for our piece.
1: The opening of st-Katherine's docks
2: An Ancient torture device
3: The reconstruction of 'sailortown'
My initial understanding of what the meseum would be like was that i would be somewhat bored the entire time, much like the previous Tate Modern trip we had taken prior to this. But to my suprise I really enjoyed this trip as it helped me understand what it was like to live in the early days of the docks and what the average persons routine and daily life entailed. We took lots of pictures at the museum but mostly o words as we knew that the direction we wanted to go (incorporating songs into a performance) but didn't quite have an idea exactly planned out in our heads just yet. I learned a lot about 'Apprentecips' which were basically a socially accepted form of slavery.
