Project Uno's Scorrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeee
Ben, Genevieve, and Lily
Score: 4/13 2:06pm
Moderately dark room
Enter
Person 1 lays down on the table
Person 2 and Person 3 carry out their own personal objects
begins
Light source on
Mouth motion beings
Every 5-10 seconds change position
Changes in velocity and tempo
As paste dissolves refill as needed
Still in silence, listen close
Spit and drip onto Person 1 as necessary
Person 1 is silent
Use the entire roll of tooth paste
- Both grabs the mouthwash gargles and spits on Person 1
Person 1 turns head towards audience and opens mouth
returns from stoic state and water comes out
Person 2 turns off light source
End.
Spit Isn't Really All That Bad
Only being discussed about, our performance involving Lily and Gen and myself and the toothpaste came to be a complete shock. We talked about something people do everyday and said, "Let's amp this up to a level of complete absurdity". It was not difficult to be spat on. The hardest part was keeping a stoic composure since, well, I was a sink and let's face it, when was the last time you saw your sink smile or laugh. I think it turned out to be quite a success. Our performance was able to draw out emotions of discomfort, yet humor at the same time. It is always interesting to see two opposite feelings coming out at the same time, wouldn't you agree? Our goal was to incorporate multiple aspects of performance art. Whereas Lily and Gen were the ones acting out a scenario, I was using my body as the convas in the piece. These aspects combined with the exaggeration of the act itself was also meant to be achieved, and it was intentional to make all of these strategies merge cohesively. I personally enjoyed the unual experience of having others' minty saliva flow all over my chest like a overflowing bathtub, just much grosser.
