The content in our QR codes for our performance will take a number of different forms. I will research the history of the site and how that information can be juxtaposed with the site’s current use. However, at this stage I feel that simply giving the audience an audio tour or video tour of the history of the site would not be engaging enough and so I will be using the process to find information about the high street that will question its current use for retail purposes and bring in information about the people throughout the towns past. This will aim to open audience member’s eyes to the deeper dimensions of the high street that we pass through and ignore everyday.
My first step was to search for a timeline of the city on the internet and found a concised but informative summary of the past, available at http://www.localhistories.org/lincolntime.html which has helped me develop my own new perception of the high street and its past.
This has then inspired me to look further in to individual areas of the high street that had particular growths in industry or important events that caused the city to grow the way it has through out the years. My next step will also involve visiting the Library archives to find more specific research to include in our performance.
