On the day of setting up the show, I felt quite nervous about how I wanted the tech to be set up. It was my first time that I’ve personally organised the tech for a performance. The techies knew what I wanted in my piece and it the two hours went thoroughly well and then began to feel a lot more confident about my show.

The style of lighting I wanted was to reflect on the idea of vanity. Crystal blue was used for the main spotlight on stage as well as the two sidelights on the wings. A Gold tint of lighting was used to focus on the mirror and the reflection of the light shining on my face to convey the idea of my own image bouncing of each other. For the partial audience participatory section, I wanted 3 lighting states to appear as if it was completely random.  The reason for getting the audience involved is because I wanted them to each take 3 photos of me to represent somebody trying to find the perfect image. In a sense, the narcissist can sometimes use people for their own self gain and what better way to do it by asking them for a photo with my phone! The yellow lighting indicated that it was an audience members turn to be used for my own methods.

For the projection, I created a slideshow that was put on a loop and each slide had different quotes made up by me or my character juxtaposed with many different selfies. I wanted to create a feeling of self indulgence and to help reinforce this, I printed out surreal looking pictures of myself.

I recorded the voice-over of the Echo and Narcissus poem which was played for the duration of the performance. I felt that there was no need for words on stage except for the beginning and end because the actions of the character can speak a lot more louder than the words.
