Class perfomance #2

Today's performance was very successful I think. We went with the idea that as communication is progressing, it's really digressing. We begin shaking hands in the middle of a circle of viewers, saying "hello" to eachother and the surrounding audience. We stepped off the stage and picked up cups with strings, saying hello into those, and encouraging our audience members to try. We stepped out of the circle, picking up house phones and repeating "hello". Then we each picked up our cellphones, getting a little less friendly with our "hello?!" By this point we're much farther out of the circle. Then we turned our backs on our audience and on eachother, and all they could hear was the beeping from our text messaging. Finally, we killed the lights, and an electronic voice was heard. "Hello. Sorry I'm no longer at home. Leave a message. Thanks."
Nobody seemed to have a problem understanding our point. In fact, a classmate excitedly asked to explain it before we did. I was pleasantly surprised at how well our class identified with our issue. I was even more surprised that the class laughed during our performance. They laughed as we grew farther apart, giggling in a way that told us "yeah, thats so true". I was mostly surprised though that our professor had no negative comments, or nothing to add. I think that this performance was much more successful than our first. There was no question that the viewers enjoyed and understood our performance, and I enjoyed doing it as well.
