Insecurity

Trying to reign in / pin down concrete show ideas ready to put them forward in class. Help.

What I’ve got isn’t bad, it’s a show, or what could be. It just doesn’t yet feel like it’s doing my final undergraduate performance justice. Solo is an opportunity to put something out there, something of your own making, a piece of you for the world to see and judge and remember you by… currently, I feel a bit like I’m hosting a children’s tv show. It’s nice. And I think it’s nice because apparently I’m nice.

I get told this a lot, ‘Oh, you’

re so sweet’ ‘She’s such a nice girl’…

A ‘nice’ performance is not what I am aiming for. Now I’m not intending to go all Artaud and mentally scar my audience, but I would like to leave them with something more than ‘Yeah, that was nice… Whose is next?’
