Everything's Alright

     This was fun!  I wanted to do an endurance piece and I've had this concept in my head for a while.  It bothers me that in Marina Abramovic's piece where she yells in Ulay's mouth neither of them are using proper vocal support so it damages their voices.  A technique I have learned for supporting with the diaphragm is to sing while in a plank.  This forces you to engage your core while singing. The song is from one of my favorite musicals and I sing it to myself when I'm upset because I like the irony of it.  I wanted to show myself trying to keep it together until I cracked and I think it translated well. I chose to wear a cutsie themed outfit to further my presentation as a happy, positive person.  I would like to do this piece again but for a longer time.  Maybe after I collapse I can try to get up and keep going until I just can't anymore.
