Movement in performance - New final idea

After a few lessons workshopping our initial idea, we decided that trying to present a storyline within a 5-10 minute movement piece would be quite hard, and would require a lot more time than we have. So we looked at the stimulus again, and began to brainstorm alternative ideas:

I particularly liked the idea of gun crime, and showing how the matter is viewed very differently in different countries, and recent gun crimes in the USA - also possibly showing Donald Trump's views and then have an underlying message of how he is damaging the country with his views.

However it the majority went towards the idea of social media and how it is damaging the one's self confidence, increases insecurities, makes young people think they have to advertise themselves to be someone they're not in order to 'fit in', and the general impact it has on our lives. This is a very interesting idea because there are many aspects of the matter than you can incorporate and tie in/link together to form one big message. We researched issues such as body dysmorphia, using make up to cover up what you really look like, and feeling like you can't win no matter what you look like.

When discussing ideas for movement, we watched the following clips for inspiration:

From these, we decided we wanted to use mirrors to show how girls constantly look at themselves and judge how they look, believing they are 'ugly' or 'fat' etc...We wanted to present a girl suffering from body dysmorphia. We used the song 'One more light' by Linkin Park, because it set a depressing atmosphere and the lyrics really help tell what this person is going through.

This mainly focuses on using space and actions, but also possibly the relationship the girl has with who she thinks she sees in the mirror.
