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.
Super documentation! I really like how you carried this out Anna. I would like to see something like this -- on Tuesday night. It could be vey different of course -- but I like the dirt and the absurdity a lot.
