Keep It, Leave It, Want It

Keep It:

Echoing what others have already said, I feel that our opening (and live performances in general) have been strong enough to merit further development. Even without a unifying theme, I feel that each of our live pieces elicits some sort of visceral audience response, although you apparently have to “hit the bong pretty hard beforehand.”

Leave It:

…Also echoing what others have already said, I think we can safely relegate the artifact museum to actual museum status…as in history, as in gone. Specifically, the I-pad video displays, which are by default a passive viewer experience, even if the content of the videos themselves is engaging. Perhaps we’ll find a place for projected video or video as an element of live performance, but for the most part I think we would be best to avoid static, pre-recorded media in general.

Want It:

……………………….Echoing what someone else said, I would like to see a piece that somehow explores success as opposed to failure. Perhaps it could even explore both?!?! I’d love to see a short piece (really short, half a minute?) that repeats and repeats but can be influenced by audience input to change the outcome ~ maybe a living gallery of choose-your-own-adventure short scenes where audience interaction determines whether a piece “succeeds” or “fails” within the context of each? Yeah!
