So after class on Monday I have decided that I am going to change the concept of my piece. It will now be “Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between.” I think that this is fitting to the portion I already have. There will be three chairs set up and each one will represent hello, goodbye, or the in betweens. With each section I will paint a picture and tape it to the chair. I believe that this new concept will allow me to add moments of brevity to my work and allow me to focus on the positives along with the negatives of the everyday greeting. In the beginning I am thinking of dancing to “Hellogoodbye” by Paul McCartney and then talk about greetings. The in between section will discuss “Sup?” “Yo.” and other sayings.
To discuss my work on Monday I had geared myself up before hand and put myself in the mindset that I would be able to get through the piece without crying. But you can’t always plan for your emotions. I was happy to see that I was able to take my time with the piece and especially with the song. I was quite surprised that I was able to get through the whole thing without giving up on it. Hopefully as the piece grows I will be able to find the emotional life that does the piece justice without the outward tears.
Well that’s all I have to say for now. Tootley-doodley.
