A Project A Day Keeps The Doctor Away

I've rewatched the documentary The Artist is Present by Marina Abramovic. There's just so much in this documentary about the performance. And I think this brings me out of the box of a more theatre-like performance and also adds the magic of performance art. I will annotate this documentary ASAP.

Was filming to see if there would be a recognizable change in the way this man was acting when he started to play his music. Never really happened. Apparently you can make any place into a small stage for performance, though that does not always allow for a person to transform into the stage persona. This turned out to be more of a situation where someone who happens to play the piano as a hobby just plays a little something for people to enjoy for about an hour.

About how Sex and the City taught us all about life in NYC and the therapeutical reflecting main character Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker. Tv Shows teach us how to live our lives and solve our problems. Though SATC is not the most heteronormative tv show.

About living the fantasy. Using anime/manga/cartoons to escape reality and be whoever we want to be. Sometimes even have superpowers. Using the persona, re-enactment. Putting Beyoncé and Cosplay together makes me think of the second lives. The separation between the persona and the every day life 'self'. To have a successful persona is to completely forget about the self.
