fear baby

FEAR BABY IS A RITUAL-EXPERIMENT-TRADITION THAT HAPPENS ANNUALLY IN THE FALL.  AS FEARS EVOLVE YEAR BY YEAR, EACH ITERATION IS DIFFERENT- HOWEVER THE CONSTANT TENANTS ARE THE ENACTMENT OF FACING THAT WHICH IS FRIGHTENING AND THE CREATION OF A "FEAR BABY" BY AUDIENCE MEMBERS.

HEADLONG PERFORMANCE INSTITUTE FINAL SHOWCASE 2015

you are watching me (ruin it)

ADVERTISED OBJECTIVE: RUIN THE PERFORMANCE.

COVERT OBJECTIVE: MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH AND LIKE THE PERFORMANCE.

I'm trying to "ruin" a performance as a ritualistic act to detach from "succeeding as an artist".  In the midst of this effort, I still find that I'm trying to get the audience to like me.  How many times, how many ways, can I still try to get at this thing and really ruin it?
