After reading ‘A Sardine Street Box Of Tricks’ we were inspired to drift through the city and look at our site in new ways that we had never seen it in before. It told us to go on “destination-less exploratory walks (what the mid-twentieth century situationists called ‘drifts’ or ‘derives’.)” We walked from the bottom of the high street to the top of steep hill and really took into account everything we were passing and took photos of things we had never noticed before. We became absorbed in our site and really started to feel like we were getting to know it. By gaining this new found information on our site we began to feel like we were part of it. I started to feel moved by certain things for example the discovery of a ‘Roman Portico’ hidden on the side of an archaic building made me feel as if I was living in historical Lincoln or as it was known ‘Lindum Colonia’ and began to really excite me and make me want to learn more about the discoveries of archaic architecture or artifacts around Lincoln. We will be able to use this newly found knowledge of our site in our main performance as it could help induce the type of Liberational quotes we use when it comes to writing on our placards, the way the city moves in certain ways at certain times may also influence our synchronised movements that will occur during our performance.
