Drama PortfolioWhen I entered the stimulus room my initial reactions were that it hadbeen created in a agency that it made you think about what was going onwithin each persona of the room. For example none of the objects werestraightforward and simple to figure out. A lot of the items weresymbolic and had multiple meanings such as the mirror in the pastsection could mean a change of appearance or reflecting on the past.The room was divided into three different sections, past, present andfuture. There were sectionalisations in-between the sections and these in like mannerseemed to have meanings. I interpreted the whole room as world onepersons past, present and future and the room told this personsstory. The future section was covered by a large white cloth. On top sideof the cloth was a bench on which lay a shape that looked like a body.This instantly made me think of a funeral, as conterminous to the body was ahuge vase of flowers. Also in this section was a table set out for one, which I think indicates that the person who died was lonely whenthey died, as it is only set out for one. On the white cloth waspainted a large question mark, which I think was placed there to present the uncertainty of the future, and the mystery of death.Hanging up in the corner of this section was a larger than liferailway ticket that read On my way to meet Fiona. This gave me theidea that maybe Fiona was somebody that the dead person knew and shepassed away. Now that the mystery person has died too they are goingto meet them in heaven.The divider between this and the present section was a row of blanknewspapers on the floor, and I think these were put here to show thatit was the future section (as the newspapers seaportt been written yet)and maybe to imply that the person who died was important or famous(as their death was in the newspaper).In the middle of the room was the present section. In this section themain theme was time. There were pictures of melting clocks stuck tothe walls, on the floor and there was clock with no hands chalked onthe floor. There was also a working clock placed on the floor. I thinkall of these objects were to symbolise time passing by, and that timeis precious. Also in this section was a table laid out for two. Ithink this is to symbolise meeting someone maybe a partner or
