First Field Trip of the Year

Sculpture Center-
Plenty of Dada Sculptures and Bauhaus architecture
Upstairs: Everything was awesome and cool to look at.
-Shattered Stars on the floor
-Painted lip poster with stage lights as teeth
-Hawaiian hula girl sculpture with red skin and covered face
-Video where people sit in front and watch
-Automated circus trapeze
All of the elements are good pieces on their own but together they create a scene and the Dada is justified

Whitney-
Body Drama- Actress in room video tapes herself as she uses a prompt to act on. I saw the performance before reading about Body Drama. I thought she looked like a lost deer on medication. The whole thing reminded me of a NYSSSA exercise called Climbing the Mountain. I thought this performance as just an exercise not a performance. The prompt was simple to put yourself in a lonely scary place. I think it was somewhat difficult for this actress. She was very obviously in and out of the state of mind. However, she did do something right because there were some really good moments.
