a little musing, a little philosophizing, a little ranting, a whole lot of nothing, really.

Another great TDEV class

(This entry is just to remind me of my wonderful class today. You will probably be bored reading it, so don't bother)

Today in class:

-There was a guy in a diaper, a guy in his boxers and a tie, a girl wearing a two piece dress made of garbage, a warm up involving all the kitchen implements, a girl painted blue wearing pasties...
- Three of us poured chocolate sauce all over our hands, painted the floor with it, and went around the class giving high fives.
-We rearranged the word BOMB into a Fluxus piece and got to jump around saying things like "MBBO".
-We got to do street theatre and performance art. And it was provoking.

The theme was love, and we did a performance piece about the commericialism, "buy love" ideas. It was good. I ended up with marshmallows and brownies in my mouth and the audience was left uncomfortable, and there was a great discussion about the use of humour in portraying an important message.

There were people who did street theatre, and went out with a video camera and a bird puppet and married people.

There were people who spread love and songs with big cardboard hearts.

I LOVE this class, I love theatre touching other people, I love people, I love spreading joy and thought.

I love the feeling of having done a good job.
