Figure 4: ‘Ickle Bit’ Character – Before and After Film Edits
The video above shows a sample of the before and after footage when creating the aesthetic for the character “Ickle Bit”. In this piece the live performers interacted with pre-recorded footage of the character who was projected onto a podium. The piece was presented to adults in an absurd frame and focused on the power exerted over data or software by those in positions of authority. I am now interested in how Ickle Bit may be used in children’s theatre.

Childhood allegories were used with an edited “little red hen” story time from President Ronald Reagan (See original full radio broadcast here) and a sing along skipping game to Jimmy Dean’s version of “Skip a Rope” (See YouTube Clip of song). The below video was used in the introduction of My Big Little Data Life to focus on data creation and humanise our personal connection to our digital footprint.
