This is my research blog for my mock Final Major project, I am completing for my art and design foundation course.

I am looking at films and books about the future and where the world has a totalitarian regime. I got this idea from reading the series of books by Gemma Malley; ‘The Declaration’, ‘The Resistance’ and ‘The Legacy’. These books are about a world where 'Legal' people take drugs called Longevity. If you take Longevity you live forever but the catch is you cannot have children. If you do have a child the 'Catchers' will take it to a Surplus Hall and they will live there until they are 15 and have learnt to be Useful. When they leave they will become house maids and handymen. I have explained more in my blog.

I am also going to look at touring theatres and streets theatres. I want to see how I can create a set and costume for this sort of set.

I did put this on a separate blog but I think it makes more sense to have one blog because if I want to use some research I have already put on this blog there would be no point. So it is all staying on here but I am going to change what my blog looks like add a bit off colour and change the logo.
