Over this past week I have had so many ideas flying around my head that I have been confused as to what I should actually do in my performance.

The conclusion: Nothing. The whole performance is going to be based around audience interaction; they will be in control. I decided that I wanted the audience to be physically active in the performance to gain a deeper connection with the piece. I feel that people ignore how forceful the beauty industry is and how much of an affect it can actually have on people.

I am hoping this installation performance will open my audience’s eyes to see the ugly side of beauty. The piece will be split into two sections, one being the performance, the other an exhibition.

EXHIBITION

Live projection of what is happening in the performance area

Beauty quotes collected from Facebook and Twitter wrote on a window pane

Drawings and explanation about the Marquardt mask (the golden ration for beauty)

Magazines

 

PERFORMANCE

 

Performer (me) sat on a chair, no speaking, no eye contact, no moving

Table filled with make-up for the audience to make me beautiful

Camera to document their ideas of perfect

 

I also want the performance to be streamed onto the televisions in the LPAC foyer
