Title of my piece for our design project. I wanted the title of the piece to grab the audience's attention without explicitly stating what the piece is about. This way, with the 104 it is slightly personal, and then Half Flight, Full Landing provokes thought of both movement and stillness, with a little sneaky stairs reference in there.

Initial inspiration came from our stairs in our place for year 1. I noticed a pattern that we were having various significant moments and experiences on our leading staircase into the house, and began examining and thinking about stairs affect the lives of pedestrians nowadays. 
	Stairs are most frequently used as a place of transition and movement rather than stillness, but every time we were seeing these significant moments we had taken a seat on our stairs. That being said, we were seeing how our staircase was becoming a place that brought us back into the present and created stillness in our busy day to day lives. 
	This led me to investigate and brainstorm how stairs are used and how the majority of people pass through stairs everyday without thinking about it, much like most of society just floats through their day to day lives rather than really staying aware and mindful with their experiences.

https://www.moveandbefree.com/blog/how-to-climb-the-stairs 
One may feel too heavy or too unfit to climb the stairs but actually not an issue of size, but one of fitness and function.

Best way- to keep your upright try not to lean forward, place your entire foot on the next step, apply force through heel and focus on pulling heel backwards behind body as you straighten leg to move body up the staircase

Burnt Notion, Section 5: Lines 140-146
Words move, music moves
Only in time; but that which is only living
Can only die. Words, after speech, reach
Into the silence. Only by the form, the pattern
Can words or music reach
The stillness, as a Chinese jar still
Moves perpetually in its stillness.
 
The detail of the pattern is movement,
As in the figure of the ten stairs.
Desire itself is movement
Not in itself desirable;
Love is itself unmoving,
Only the cause and end of movement,
Timeless, and undesiring
Except in the aspect of time
Caught in the form of limitation
Between un-being and being.

Every year, Christmas and Easter morning, my family has a tradition of everyone except my mom sits at the top of the stairs so that she can get photographs of everything and us, and it is probably one of the moments I feel most like a family. It really would bring me out of the chaos of whatever the year or holiday season looked like, and would remind me to be grateful for my family and being able to celebrate together.

Hurricanes/Tornadoes: At home in North Carolina, we deal with a decent amount of hurricanes and tornadoes over the years, and the stairs were always where we would go to hide out for a safe space. That being said, it was stillness and safety within a chaotic environment, which goes right along with my intentions for this piece.

After considering various set options, I decided I want my piece to be immersive and for the audience to feel like they are a part of the story. The set will be an actual stair well that goes up three fligths making 3/4 of a square. The top flight will be where the audience is and where the dancers begin and eventually the dancers will make their way down to the bottom staircase for the audience to view from their seats in the tallest staircase. With the ambient lighting they will come in and out based on where the dancers are, except the floor lighting of the stairs will be on in all three the whole time.

At the beginning, the top staircase will be lit overhead, and then the second staircase will turn on once dancers are on it, and then so on with the third staircase. The floor lights will be lit on all staircases the entire duration of the piece.
