So in our 3 minute piece, we are going to make a phrase using the wall, and add sound and add text?

So our idea is SET!
Hitting the wall can show emotions and dynamics based on how difficult and sudden it can be to stop within a sport and push your body no further to a limit that has passed.

I have a idea for Tara, using me and Seani to 'climb' the wall (meaning climb me and Seani) but struggle through this with movement and contact?

"One of the main effects of hitting the wall is emotional. People may lose their sense of drive and suddenly feel depressed. They may also suffer from a general sense of confusion, and they may have trouble thinking clearly about what they are trying to do. Some experts think that these mental effects are caused by an overabundance of serotonin in the brain, which seems to be a common effect of running out of carbohydrate energy."

"Another contributing factor that may cause people to hit the wall could be insufficient hydration. The body generally needs water to perform most activities, and any kind of endurance-based sport will often cause as lot of sweating, especially if the temperature is high. Sometimes athletes may not hydrate themselves sufficiently before undertaking an activity, and as a result, they might hit the wall faster than they normally would."

Run Fat Boy Run Hitting the wall scene
"if you hit the wall when you are trying to achieve something, you reach a situation where you cannot make any more progress "

Wikipedia Summery

"In endurance sports such as cycling and running, hitting the wall or the bonk describes a condition caused by the depletion of glycogen stores in the liver and muscles, which manifests itself by sudden fatigue and loss of energy. Milder instances can be remedied by brief rest and the ingestion of food or drinks containing carbohydrates. The condition can usually be avoided by ensuring that glycogen levels are high when the exercise begins, maintaining glucose levels during exercise by eating or drinking carbohydrate-rich substances, or by reducing exercise intensity."

This is a summery of 'hitting the wall' from Wikipedia :)
This could help us choreograph and set a stucture to the piece by certain adjectives or words to create movement and dynamics!
