our class performance

I think our class performance was interesting.
Interesting in a good way (because i often use interesting in a negative way...)
We posed as a politician, an audience, and a puppeteer. I was the politician at a make shift podium, silently giving a speech. My gestures were big and authoritative. Kelli played an audience member, smiling and clapping the whole time. Sebastian stood on a stool above me, control my motions as if I was a marrionette.
The best part of this performance was that it all took place in the men's bathroom of the fourth floor of the art building.
Bringing the class in there seemed to get a great reaction from our classmates, and the professor as well. They were suprised, some a little weirded out. But it had a good effect. As Sebastian said, what better place for a political speech then next to the urinals.
The idea was that, even though people have no idea what politicians are saying they will back up whoever appears powerful. And politicians often don't even know what they are saying. Everybody's identity is scewed in politics. Politicians pretend to be someone they usually aren't. Voters are fooled, and their judgement and individuality is messed up.
I think we got our point across.
