Donorcycle Notes

Volunteers will be vip audience members.  They get to experience the performance first hand, and through the lens of body uncomfort, and scripted aesthetics.

Jon Ciliberto, who will be interacting with the audience by scanning them and wrapping them in caution tape.

Through volunteers and audience interaction, this piece has a lot of similarities to one that I did at Eyedrum as the dictator.

WORKER ACTIONS
  • Workers will be following the instructions of the lead worker. 
  • You should be slow, somber, relaxed and muted. 
  • Keep your arms at your sides.
  • Provide a still backdrop for my actions, that is parallel to the audience.
  • Ignore the audience.
  • Focus on looking at me and each other, while paying attention to the compositions that fill your field of vision.

COMMAND WORDS:
  • LINE = form a line that follows the leader so that you are providing a backdrop for me that is parallel to the audience.
  • CIRCLE = form a circle around me. This action happens when I need to communicate something to you.
  • SCATTER = walk 27 steps away, and then quickly return and form a CIRCLE around me.
  • CAUTION TAPE = hold onto caution tape.

During the first Donorcycle, I had an extremely negative reaction.  This performance is going to embrace that negativity.

    A vision and a space today. Drawings have begun.

    And now, I will introduce a member of my staff who has announced her retirement... She informed me of a story that is important to me because of that painful emotion called jealousy. Do you agree that this story speaks to truth and release? [ Rumpelstiltzkin ]

    My neighbors were meeting about securing more art money today. I pondered attending, but remembered that artists are not disgruntled about resources in artempeerealism.

    franklin furnace brought john delk to my attention, the artist who was seeking antidepressants for his bang sculpture
    and i thought immediately of louise shaw at the cdc
    a perfect opp [and her artistic/social responsibilty]
    this had been a time that i was attempting to stop my pills:go au natural

    last night, meeting with louise shaw about curating an exhibition
    capitalism = disease

    i must stand tall, this must exist at the cdc
    and, i am no curator
    but the concept of this thing
    =an art project

    how to infiltrate
    and promote change

    the system is wrong

    karen finley lecture "nation building"
    illustrated american current events [which i try to avoid]. .i am not interested in america, and therefore i find "nation building" quite boring. who wants to hear someone make stupid jokes about american celebrities?...americans, i guess. when she said she was going to play a song, i feared that it would be a usa patriot song, and i was fully prepared to stand up and turn my back on her..
    still, i clapped like the rest of the audience when she declared herself a leftist against the war.
    robot.
