My Project Brief 3, Bread and Circuses aims to elucidate how music and creativity can help to maintain wellbeing. It is a website that showcases a selection of short linear documentaries produced either by myself or members of a community that I will be exploring.
The project’s title, Bread and Circuses, is a term adapted from the Roman era, it was coined by the ruling class as a means to appease the ‘commoners’. Those in power would offer incentives like free food and entertainment in the hope that it would circumvent rebellion.
This is a notion that relates to my documentary as the participants have broken away from the social dominant system to become independent and self sufficient. NEVER THE LESS… food and entertainment are still necessities but by contrast, these participants acquire food by providing their own circus, it is their music that is the foundation for their happiness and survival.
