Students were given the overall theme 'Reality and Illusion' and were encouraged to creatively interpret the theme to seek design directions using multi-media of their choice.

Reality and Illusion – My personal interpretation: 
•    Throughout history, people have had difficulty in distinguishing reality from illusion. 
•    Reality is what happens, whereas illusion is what we would like to happen. Wishful thinking is    a well-worn expression. 
•    The world we experience and the life we live are the reflection of our thoughts. 
•    The mind creates a world of illusion. 
•    By changing our thoughts, we change the illusion and experience a different reality. We do    not create a world, only an illusion that looks real. No unusual power is involved here. 
•    We are living in Maya and are changing the Maya. Everything is in the mind. 

Based on these thoughts I chose to explore the domain of 'Performance Design' as it offered creative possibilities of interpretation of the theme using the elements of space, sound, movement and enactment.
