I hadn't put too much thought into this idea but what I am trying to achieve is to bring everyone together. Currently I feel the mosque idea is playing off the idea in which I am trying to attract the older generations into my performance space through the structure and architecture. However this idea is not strong enough.
Jen and Meg asked well what is the age range in which I feel are 'conservative,' is it like 40-60 year olds? If this is true, if they were born in Kreuzberg or if they immigrated when they were young, they will have been influenced by the hip-hop culture when they were younger as this era was still when the Berlin wall was erected..
Therefore can I find some common ground between these two separate demographics - the youth culture and the older generations. I feel the way to answer this question is to rethink my performance. Can I adapt it from being a stage in which performers perform for an audience, to a performance in which the action of learning breakdance is the performance. In order to make this a space in which brings the culture together, Jen suggested taking this idea one step further in which I can look into if the Turkish have a 'traditional' dance in which they can teach the youth to create an exchange.
I feel this is the strongest concept to date in which I will look back at how I explored the forms of breakdance and do the same for any other dances I come across in further research. Can I begin to sketch as I am researching, sketching the forms and the different stages and begin to bring these ideas together with the addition of the breakdance scene.
