 * Jermel:**

The area we have as a group has soo many different parts to it. It's the grass across the street on the JFK bridge. There is a large amount of grass plus many different trees around that is full of leaves. behind us there is a drop that no one can see fill with people belongings and all this trash and the train rails are there too. when we perform it will be good because people walking down the street and the train people one will see us. and my goal with this is to do like the people said and make people never see this place the same anymore. our audience will be across the street from us unless they are walking past and if that is they will be behind the pole.. overall though it's a great plus that will have many different views for people to see us perform!


 * Rosie:**

The area that our group chosen was on the JFK bridge, where there is a big open field. We intend on using everything show to our extent. For one part since there are so many trees we might have people in the trees at some point in our performance. Also, I liked all the dirty beat up looking things so behind the area that is grass and trees, there are train tracks. The fencing that is surrounding the area is neat because it will separate us from an audience and can be used to climb or lay on. In the very back you can also see SLA so we have a way to represent ourselves as __students__. Overall I think our area is a perfect place because there are many things that could be done and also represented.


 * Seamus:**

Our group chose a small green field between the JFK bridge and the train tracks. There are a lot of trees in this small, but wide space, and there is a railing in between the sidewalk and the grass which we plan to have our audience stand behind. The area is especially good because we will never be very far away from the audience, and because it is wide we will still have a lot of space for us to use. There are a lot of trees there, and one part of the dance might involve somebody in the tree jumping down. I think that the contrast between the green field, and the brown, dirty train tracks make for a really interesting space. It is also very close to SLA, and it is likely you could see our performance from one of the __windows__ of SLA, because there is a direct line of sight between the 5th floor of SLA and our space.


 * DeShawn:**

My group chose the over pass located on JFK Blvd. It feels like a high up space, from 22nd street, and it gives a panoramic view of 30th Street Station. The greenery gives a sense of nature in the big city right next to the street. I think it's a small oasis of greenery that's very lush and well maintained and it's in-between the SEPTA regional rail train tracks and the JFK Blvd. In addition, the small tress compliment the green space and give a sense of shade in the area. I think they will be useful in the process of creating our dance because trees are a big element of nature. Although the tree trunks are small in diameter, they are very sturdy as my group figured out by Seamus climbing the tree. I think this "oasis" in the city is a great place to express a sense of nature and lush ground to an audience through dance.


 * Franky:**
 * DeShawn,Jermel,Seamus,Rosie and I we looking at alot of sites in the city of philadelphia and we found some with alot of diferent characteristics,textures, and a lot of life for our piece.Our first place that we thought that would be a good place was a playground of a school,but the problem was that we could be interfering with their space.So we continued walking around and ran across this green space next to the SEPT regional rail and thought it would be perfect because of the tress,grass,shrubs, and also the layout of the space its self. We thought to get different detentions me and seamus would climb some of the trees, so look forward to that!**
