performing art

Jaime and Lindsay had the task of performing my proposal. I thought they did a wonderful job and it turned out better than I expected. I was thinking that they would sit beside each other but they chose to sit opposite each other and that aspect made the design much more interesting. I had them close their eyes and trace each other's hands onto a single sheet of paper. It took some focus and teamwork to not poke one another with the pens. This was more of a meditative experiment. I wanted them to focus on their interaction with the other person and reflect on how they could communicate with the other person without the use of words or sight. I also wanted them to think about the aspect of design.

I had the pleasure of performing both Kayla's and Lindsay's piece. First I performed Lindsay's with Pavlos. It was like a take on chirades. Basically, without using words we had to act out an idea or object and make the other person guess what that idea was. I chose to act out a birdhouse and Pavlos chose Guitar Hero. I also participated in Kayla's project with Liz. In this piece, I had to blow green bubbles and make a 5' by 5' square. Liz had blue bubbles and she had to outline my green square. This was a little messy and hard on the knees but we made it happen.
