Plunga Infomercial 3 from Shyamala Moorty on Vimeo.
password: Plunga (note the capital P)
Feedback questions:
1. Are there any moments that are particularly funny/entertaining?
2. Is there anything that makes you think? Is there's the potential for leading into a more serious topic with this. If so, what topic/s do you see it relating to?
3. As the infomercial developed it turned out to be more for video then a live performance then I had originally expected. I do still imagine that there could be some audience interaction, like teaching them to meditate while using the plunga wand etc. When you watch it, can you imagine any live elements (would the announcer be live and the dancing and yoga be on film, or vice versa?) Or could there be live performance that is related to this?
4. What are the politics of commercialization in relation to this piece? Is there a possibility for empowerment of herself and her community through selling the Plunga Flow Workout, or do you think she's "selling out"? Please explain your answer
5. is there a relationship to the comic book theme? how so? Do you see any connections to other (Un) epic Wonder Women characters or themes?
6. Who do you think the uninspired woman, the plunger dancer, and the yogasana demonstrator are? (are they Plunga? are they Nirmala (before turning into Plunga)? are they different ordinary people?)
7. Any other comments, suggestions, ideas?
