Man In White Dress

Performers: Sarah Mayti, Joanne Hsiesh, Matthew Silver

Camera man: Peter Silberstein

This was a strange performance. A week and a half before, me and Marissa created the outline. We were really pumped and ready to do it. We met again on the Wednesday before the performance. It was me, Marissa and Joan.  Rehearsal was rushed because it was cold.

On Sunday, at the last minute I got Sarah to perform with us, and we all met at the usual meeting spot only Marissa didn’t show, I found out later that her evil landlord was kicking her out of her place. I was still determined and focused, but we didn’t have half of the props. Joan was a little confused about Marissa not showing and Sarah really didn’t know the outline.

What happened was beautiful; Joan stuck with the outline. Sarah tried to stick with the outline in the beginning, but started developing her own thing, a combination of internet and Yoga. Together we reinforced the spontaneous heart of freedom.

State Wants a Criminal But Probe Part 1

We are watching the imaginary TV, to be presented by an advertisement for the new building. The audience gets excited, we are introduced to The Kid who joins in our act and shows us his skills.

The Building is Erected PART 2

The building is declared ERECTED! You can hear the echo through the streets. The kid comes back and shows us his excitement. We all do yoga.

Internet Access on the Pelvis PART 3

Sarah starts doing the internet in a crab walk position, she tries to get people to access the internet through her. Access is denied. We start swimming, on the sidewalk, dance fest. The meteor hits us.

The Building Destroyed PART 4

Sarah intrigues people with her savvy positions, me and Joan cont. the final act as the building gets destroyed and a radioactive monster starts attacking us. Watch as particles of clothing go in the face of a very busy man.

Jester Goes Wild PART 5

After performing for an hour or two, I was zoned, actually all three of us are zoned, interacting with people, dancing, spinning around in circles, we didn’t give two paper bags what we looked like.

Audio Recording of meeting:

We are always creating ways for us to grow and shape this project so it can always be better. Here is a copy of the notes and outline:

I finally created an official outline form to help me simplify and produce better performances:

These next few clips are each under a minute of specific things that happened. 

Access Denied

Someone accesses the internet through Sarah accept the password is wrong and creates a constant thrusting motion, that may be too much for this pedestrian.

The Flute Parade

We start making a magical parade of flute noise.

The Jester and the Baby’s tied up performance

Watch as performance art gets the best of us, tied up and confused connected and falling apart.

The fools tie up a man!

This man wants to be tied up and we do exactly what he asks. But he keeps shouting he has to pee.

Trapped By a Skate Board

The entire group is surrounded by a man and his skateboard. This is a favorite clip because it came out of no where.

The Fools make a Baby

To continue the foolish tradition, birth is given to a foolish baby through a hula-hoop. Yay! It’s the miracle of life.

Any way thanks for watching and remember you can always join in the merrymaking fun!!!!
