I am a big fan of using the senses in performance, particularly the sense of smell. What I would like to do is have mouldy fruit and sandwiches, sour milk and the smell of stale cigarettes. The only problem is how? I can’t fill my flat with gone off food, I doubt the LPAC would keep it in the props room for me and also the smell of mouldy food is quite strong and it can’t take away from the performance, having the audience gag is not the response I want. Also I would like the smells to be gradual, sadly that isn’t how the senses work.
