Analog TV
This performance is an exploration of the engagement that storytelling provides. The most complex version of storytelling in our lives today is the television and the cinema. However, their basic structure and purpose can be crafted in an analog manner via the use of a marker, a roll of plain white paper for the film reel, a cardboard box to serve as the frame, and two paper towel holders to help turn the reel. The next steps include writing a script to be drawn onto the film reel, using the marker to make simple drawings on the film reel -while keeping in mind the size of the cutout that was made for the "screen"- installing the film reel onto the roll holders, and finally finding a narrator to read the script aloud while you turn the film reel around to reveal the plot Thank you to Katya Urban for the wonderful narration! The story that was used was called, "The Alien Who Met a TV!" The title and the content are ironic because the story includes an interaction with a TV while the medium of storytelling tries to mimick a TV. This project was inspired by one that I had seen during elementary school, at a relative's house. The relative at the time attended college to be a preschool teacher, and was assigned to make unique games and activities for childen at Kindergarten. I had fallen in love with everything she had crafted, and I'm glad I was able to use her influence to try to replicate her work for class.
