studio briefing -'thats pants'

What is PANTS?
Collaboratively generate an exhaustive list of potential subjects to tackle. If you’re stuck for ideas, what research could support you? Consider Social, Political & Cultural themes to investigate.
Think locally/ think globally. Though the subject of your protest maybe specific to you, it could easily have resonance on a global platform.
What are your daily frustrations or first world problems? It could be to do with technology, your home, the products you consume or the systems that govern your day to day.
Perhaps you investigate social behaviours or trends that exist within certain sub- cultures? Is it student behaviour? Fashions? Something unique to Leeds?
Is it about bad design, poorly run services or manipulative consumer corporations? Where is there injustice? What gets you angry? Who frustrates you? What do you want to say to the world?
keep in mind humour 
must be a playful approach to the brief. 
Once we have focused where our argument is, how are you going to make a your statement? Placards, banners, stickers, Costume, masks, models, Props, set pieces & art direction Re- appropriate, intervention, event. What else?
Deliverables
