Post-Show Thoughts

What a cool project. I think we did a fine job, given the time constraints. Once again, though, I haven't heard any buzz about what happened. It really amazes me that such a strange occurrence doesn't rock the student body, at least just a little.

As for the details of the show, I was initially disappointed by the obvious annoyance of some crowd members. On the other hand, though, I don't think we were doing our shows for them anyway, so I'll mark it off as collateral damage.

Reflecting back now, I most regret not being able to see the faces of the audience members. I couldn't even tell if they were watching our show. Our scale lent itself to a very personal performance, but it did feel very mono-directional.

Another thing that was frustrating was the limited shows we could do. A friend came up after and told me that I had passed her table by, and she and her friends were all upset. It really was unfortunate that we couldn't engage the entire audience in some way other than through darkness and sound.

Serious question, though: what would you have done differently, given another chance?

I think an obvious response might be to change the format of the show, so we could present to more people at once. However, I might also have liked to take the show on the road; stop in fireside, turn of the lights, give a few performances, then leave. It would have also been cool to do shows in offices, disrupting the staff's evening.
