Story Idea for Beyond Fiction
Posted: February 12, 2014 Filed under: Field | Tags: ballerina, family, narrative, story Leave a commentMy Beyond Fiction Story Idea
We were asked to create stories for our evidence workshop, and the story that i have created is about a ballerina, who happens to be my grandmother. I made the story of her being a child and wanting to be a ballerina after her father gives her a ballerina figurine. The story is about her growing up and working hard to be a ballerina. Dealing with her struggles and her dedication to ballet and the difficulties that go along with the hard work. The objects that she has inherited or picked up along her travels. I want to demonstrate the regal, pretty side of ballet, contrasted with the pain and harsh circumstances of it. I think this could work for my project, and it could develop into something different than expected and i could demonstrate this through different mediums which i hope will be very interesting.
Initial Ideas for Beyond Fiction

For this project i have had some initial ideas. I started with what objects i was most drawn to. Which for me are my figurine of a ballerina, which i bought from a charity shop, I love the brassy colour with the black patches. I really like the way it looks as she is not in a typical ballerina pose. She looks vulnerable and almost naive and childlike. The other items i was most drawn to are my photographs of my grandmother and her family. I feel these two objects could work well together to create a really interesting story narrative.
These are the objects that i am most drawn to.
