I felt the most effective part of the show was the first minute or so when the music went on, the lights were doused, and the candles went up. At this point people were gathered around the balconies and seemed to have a positive reaction to the strange environment created by the soundtrack and candle light. After the first repetition of the shadow show, however, reactions became more and more negative. I got whapped in the head at one point and it felt suspiciously on-purpose...
I also feel that most of the people that appreciated the event were other arts-involved students.
Based on this experience, I don't think I would choose to perform an event quite like this again. I am more interested in creating atmospheres/installation, though, based on the effect that the change in lighting and sound made upon the caf/diners.
