With there being a test run yesterday on the first of December, I discovered a number of small problems or things i disliked about my as well as some timing issues with trying to keep the protest under half an hour.
So i ran the performance twice but I did the route three times, once to show where i would go and then the two performances after were timed runs, once with an audience and once without.
after doing the performances i decided that due to time and also due to lack of reason for it to exist, i felt that removing doing a song at the hive location was wise due to it not making much sense but as well as finding that the performance went 37 minutes with the song at the location, however it went 29 minutes if there wasn't a song at the hive.
there was also a change in the music being employed as well, the audience run had the questions raised about some of the music used, they felt it could be used better, and there might be a good idea to swap where certain music is being used.
so the new music being used is:
Powerful-Jussie Smollett and Alicia Keyes
Could you be loved-Bob Marley
Happy-Pharell Williams
These songs i feel convey my protest message in a much better way than the previous choices, the new songs also stay more in ethnic culture as people from black ancestry are more knowledgeable in using song for protest due to the civil rights movements in the 1950's and 60's.
i feel the reason i also didn't use a fourth song was because there wasn't a song i felt worked outside of the hive and thus i am choosing to not sing a fourth song
