Tutorials

We had a tutorial with Peter today and explained our idea regarding the removal of senses. Peter encouraged us to make a decision about what sense we wanted to use and to try to move forward with the idea. During the talk we decided on a statement that would introduce the piece: What are you left with once you take a sense away? This would work much like a film one-liner, giving a slight insight into what the piece is about, but still remains intriguing. Through talking to Peter we realised that we had alot of work to do until we could reach a position where we could outline our final idea. We were still uncertain about which sense we wanted to concentrate on, indifferent between sight and hearing. However, we were sawying towards concentrating on the lose of sight. We realised that in order for this to be an accurate project we would have to talk to a person who had actually lost a sense and how this had effected their life. As a result, we decided that the best course of action was to contact the Royal Institution on the Blind and other charities for the blind.

To Whom It May Concern:

My name is Neal Bryant and I am a student at the University of
Westminster. I am currently doing a project into the blind, and in
particular how they experience the world. The project is primarily aimed
at people who have become blind during their life, and how they felt
during that period. I was wondering if you would be able to assist me in
meeting a blind person, who wouldn't mind being interviewed regarding
the issues from above. Any help would be extremely useful and gratefully
received.

Yours Faithfully,

Neal Bryant

At this point we are going to wait for our response from the charities contacted and hopefully move from there. In the mean time we have to research into the blind and try to think of how we could emphasize a loss of sight.
