A girl (late teen) is stuck in a rut...she doesn't know how to get the most out of her life. In all honestly she has no clue who she really, what she really wants wants, or what makes her happy. She's at such a vital stage, a stage in which her future equates to so much more than tomorrow and she is so very unaware of the ulterior meaning of her existence. She needs to figure out just how to move forward, how to progress into a women. The strains of a relationship are not allowing her to proceed through this difficult period and being with her partner is making it all impossible to figure out. Deciding to break of the connection she goes in search of a different path, and yet this path is like a conveyer belt. She is running and running...through door, after door, after door, and yet the outcome is always the same. She is simply stuck, fast... and not even in the place she started but further back than that. Each times she tries to move forward and exit the scene, she goes through a door to the past, each door reveals a different era, each era reveals a different party, each party a different band, a different scene, different dancing, different dress, different banners, different posters, different hair-do's, different makeup, different atmosphere...different, different,different! Each time in the corner of each room, no matter where, no matter when, he is there - unseen, unnoticed and yet so desired...un till it hits her! What she was looking for was right in front of her eyes.
Our basic pitch is the story of a tainted relationship & a girl attempting to look for herself and move on with her life through the symbolic 'door', each time she exits through this 'door' she enters a new time period - presenting the idea that she is stuck in a vortex without him by her side. The video will conclude with her finally falling back (once overcoming her personal barriers&demons) into the present / future with her partner. We aim to create an amplification of the vaccines song 'If Ya Wanna' and develop a performance & narrative based piece which relies heavily upon intertextuality, costume, energy & mis en scene.
