And yes, Ben --- while the performance was interesting and had good structure, it lacked a social critique - the intention of the artist is very important -- and that intention in order for the work to be strong, but be simple, direct and make people think.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299174761149626408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-339943112788291908.post-28526707902310390312014-04-07T21:18:20.570-07:002014-04-07T21:18:20.570-07:00I really really like the idea of giving the sundae...I really really like the idea of giving the sundae to an audience member and then reading all of the unnatural ingredients listed on the packaging. Or, maybe just have two people on stage doing the performance, where one person eats, and the other person reads. It would show how some people don't care about what they put into their bodies, while others do. It would also be a comment on how processed and unhealthy food, especially in America, has become. The dangerously fast growing population of the world and the value of efficiency has created these types of foods. It is an environmental health problem. On another note, this idea for a performance could also comment on different social classes in America. Lower classes cannot afford nice, organic, healthy foods, whereas higher classes can. Lower classes are kind of forced to eat these bad, unhealthy foods because of society. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02058907704047227288noreply@blogger.com
