Studio Explorations Idea
I babysit after school everyday. My job is to get the kids off the bus at the end of the street. When we were younger, does anyone remember an adult having to "get them off the bus" everyday? The bus driver will not let them off the bus unless there is an adult there for them to go with. And not just any adult. Someone the child knows and the bus driver recognizes. Every. Single. Day. Daniel's bus driver asks him every day (it's been 6 days now) if I am the one who is supposed to be getting him. He's in fifth grade. In our paranoid and corrupt society today, it is an unfortunate necessity for someone to get their children directly off the bus. I think I want to further explore this concept of paranoia, fear, and crime that happens to children all over the world, but specifically in America. Their stop is on a road in the woods, so I might consider using this actual area, or just the feelings this place gives me, and the feelings of waiting for them to safely arrive home from school.
