I started to think about writing a word for 8 minutes, and then I turned my attention to the amount of time that my performance was going to run for, 8 minutes. I started to think about what happened around the word minute by minute. I found a few things including this photo;

Figure 1: 20 Things That Happen Every Minute [Infographic] (2009)

I planned on somehow incorporating some of the above facts in my performance, I just wasn’t quite sure how yet. One idea I had had was writing the word change really slow over the space of 8 minutes then after this showing what had changed around the word in that 8 minutes. I like this idea however, I thought it was to obvious and that the audience would be able to guess what was going on, which didn’t follow my original idea of wanting something which made no sense.
