Initial ideas

The way we thought up ideas was by taking the title 'chasing pavements' and think what could come from it. We seemed to anonamously agree that chasing ment we are trying to get something, then I thought pavements could be a code word for drugs and we could create a performance about the desperation to get drugs or something. But since most of the group is in double drama and in double we are all ready creating a performance about drugs and therefor we didn't want to do two similar shows at the same time so we moved on.

We also looked for inspiration in the music video, which involved a car crash. So we had segestions of people dying in a car crash then performing what happened befor and after the incident. For me, for some reason I didn't think of a good piece to create around that concept, ideas didn't spring to me but we ended up not doing it anyway.

We also looked at the performer of the song, we took note that Adele is curvy and we thought we could create a piece about an overweight character who I chasing here dream while fighting hardship for being overweight. However we then realised we were taking inspiration from her curves and we didn't feel good about that, also looking back that sounds like the plot of most chick flick movies, so we didn't do that either.

In the end we used the idea of chasing to get the consept of desperation for something, then that led to money and it reminded me and someone eles in the group of a film 'would you rather' so we thought we could create an entire performance around that.
