Action Lab #1 Performed - Pushing Form Further And Lizard Boy The question we had to consider was - how can you collide this with another form? We were to think about how content dictates form. My text for the performance went as follows: Twinkle, twinkle little star sung a cappella and syncopated Film starts, breath I spoke, about, talked about, losing the power of speech recently. It was weird it was something I had forgotten about. How can you forget such a thing? Then I remember how many things I forget. And have forgotten. Breath, one long sigh When the image of my back in the mezzanine of FADS comes on to the scene, recite skinless poem: When I am skinless When my skin is so thin Thinner than membrane under eggshell Thinner than clingfilm glad warp cellophane Thinner than the skin between the layers of an onion Then I am fragile frail feeble Then I have no voice When poem finishes, 3 slow breaths and drill sound. Drill sound goes on for longer than is comfortable. Then final rendition of Twinkle, twinkle little star ………… Exploring the idea of “how it feels to give voice to voicelessness”, I feel am still tiptoeing around rather than 'digging deep'. I am not sure I am ready or willing to talk about Lizard Boy yet.
