Broken Ground's Happiness Index: Rehearsal 1



Beginning of our devising process for our new theatre project 'Broken Ground's Happiness Index', our new performance project looking at what makes people happy and if we can measure it. Join in at 
http://brokengroundhappinessindex.blogspot.com/.


Along with the usual tea and talking we did some filmed improvisations which were good for focusing us and generating some creative material. We're now wondering if there is a one-on-one performance here, even if it forms part of the process for a larger, traditional theatre show.

Broken Ground's Happiness Index

Hi, hello and, if this is your first time, welcome.


Now that's out of the way, on with business. Broken Ground are starting a new performance project called Broken Ground's Happiness Index. You can find out what it is and why we're doing it HERE .


The brief outline is this:


Like the government, we're making a happiness index. But we don't have a spare £2m. We have an internet connection, a dressing up box and that's about it. 




If you want to be part of our happiness index then please contact us. We only want a little bit of information and your permission for us to use it in our new show. By answering all, or some, of these five questions you can help us make our Happiness Index:

Where are you from?

How happy are you on a scale of 1-100?

How rich are you on a scale of 1-100?

What makes you happy, other than money?

What's going on in Greenland that they're not telling us about?

You can submit your answers in the comments section on the happiness index blog , join our Broken Ground Theatre group on facebook,  or email us via brokengroundhappinessindex@yahoo.co.uk




Thank you for your time.

Broken Ground
