Our Pitch

Before the market we all had to pitch our stall to the market. Our group didn’t so much want to over re-herse ours and make up a spiel about the tree for that wasn’t what our tree was about. Our tree was an installation for leisure activities and we wanted to how the teachers this. We decided that we would ask the teachers to play with the tree and get a feel for it so they could see for themselves what you can do with the tree (and what each other were doing with the tree) while we explained our idea and how we got to it on top of them. We all wanted to pitch in and make it very casual so there was a relaxed feel to our pitch and stall while the played around for 90 seconds.

While the teachers played with our tree and some listened this is what we told them (in general, not word for word obviously):

From the beginning our team Building Branches wanted to play with recycled mdf and card. We also were looking at creating many 3D shapes and forms, at the time that students could turn from 2D to 3D and take home with them. At one point we were asked how we were going to display these pieces which is where we introduced the tree. Eventually the tree developed and we had a lot of fun playing with it and added pieces turning it into a puzzle tree. Or a 3D doodling tree as we call it. This tree can be used however you want but the tree main ways people use it is either 1. Mindlessly placing pieces on the tree just for the fun of joining peices 2. Making stories out of the characters and creatures they find and place on the tree or 3. Trying to stack as many pieces on as possible without it falling over.
