At a tilt

Today's thoughts:

would like to designate the up top alcove (that thrusts from the shop) to be the "kitchen", as in the choreoscript, there is a sense of someone drinking coffee (or tea) and contemplating.  I would like to use that alcove area for that imaginary space.  I am imagining if it could be slightly tilted?  A linoleum kitchen floor, on a slight angle, a small kitchen table and chair perched on that angle.  Suggested in the area, a "stove" with a tea kettle.  I will be using tea kettle whistling as a sound element. I see this little "set" as "floating" in that alcove.

Along with that, I imagine the first time we see someone at that table that the tea cup/coffee mug is normal size.  But then each consequent time, the cup is larger.  Growing surreally. The final scene, when the bottle dress goddess is filling the space and spinning with the other dancing/spinners that the lights in the alcove space would create a sense of that world up there swirling like tea/coffee/water in a cup, as if now the actor is now longer holding the liquid/but the liquid is holding the actor.
