Multiplying Score for 3 performers and 3 audience members

This is the score I created for our last assignment- addressing 2 guiding questions, and inspired by Cynthia's score.

1. how are we asking the audience to participate in desire? 
 -can we ask the audience to participate in desire?

2. what can we do with pearls?

Score

• 3 performers with trays with pearls, maybe refreshing spray with cold mist (or ice cubes) and essential oil, and cards with text
• texts : homophobic targeting or super exotifying promotion language, or (current?) critiques of exoticism/orientalism)
• -> go interact with and “decorate” one audience member each; interaction can include the pearls, cold scented mist, ice cubes,  essential oils
• Ask the “decorated” audience member to take one card and read the text on the chosen card
• Take Selfie with decorated audience member if they want?

• Give audience member the tray and ask them to repeat the score with another audience member
• Repeat with new tray (depending on how big the audience maybe up to 12 trays?)

This is the feedback from the Skype meeting on August 13, 2018.

I appreciate:

MM: that the audience member repeats the score with another audience member

CL:  I like the inclusion of the critical text

SM: I love the selfies. It makes it very contemporary. Makes it very past present. Old text with this contemporary thing that we all do.

I wonder:

I wonder what they do with ice cubes?

CL: I’m curious why the cold?

SM: I’m curious how the audience member will feel with the decorations and the different texts?

CL: how we want the audience members to feel?

CL:  if the audience member has the freedom to change the score in a way they might feel more comfortable with?

SM: I wonder what it will feel like done to me, I want to try it.

CL:  I wonder how it will it feel to be decorated in this way if they don’t identify as femme?

SM: I wonder how the permissiveness of performance and play allows people to play with how they normally present themselves in a safe way?

SM: I wonder what it would be like if the score was adjusted so that the audience member can decorate themselves?

CL:  how much does the audience member get to choose?
