Act 4

Venue: School of Biological Sciences, NTU
Performers: BMS Year 3s and myself.



Brainstorming



Smile



With sexy lips



And a stiched up mouth



Lots of fun involved



Teardrops.



Finale



Tickled



Similarities



Admiring their masterpiece.






Reflections:
The final group created the most enjoyable experience out of the four. They were willing to decorate the masks, have fun and being able to capture their moment of joy seemed like a performance to me.



Act 3
Venue: NTU North Spine
Performers: 2 NTU girls and myself





Handing out the masks


Asking if they'd like to write or draw anything on the mask



Putting on the masks



Walking to Lee Wee Nam Library



Taking a secret path the Lee Wee Nam,
a route I never knew.



Waiting for the arrival of the lift



Into the lift we go



And here we are again.







Reflections:
This time round, the girls were more sporting though they did not want to go through the hassle of decorating their masks. And they asked many questions pertaining to my concept and purpose. Seems like my group of audience is getting better at this.



Act 2
Venue: NTU North Spine
Performers: 2 exchange students & myself




Trying to persuade them to take part in my 'act'





Reflections:
I approached them with a mindset thinking that exchange students would be more open to my idea and that they'll be more willing to go along with my 'social responsibility act'. Instead, they rejected my request and said they were busy. When we left however, they continued standing there and engaged in their chit chat.



Act 1
Venue: NTU North Spine
Performers: 2 NTU boys & myself





Preparing for my mask with a message



Getting ready to start the adventure around school






And here we go.



Approaching a student



Handing out masks



Putting their masks on



And off to the library





Video Recording of the 1st Adventure



Reflections:
I myself took a while to warm up to the student population at the beginning. Though the student I approached was some what willing to do me a favour, I could sense some form of resentment from his friend who kept looking away from the camera and was very conscious of his surrounding environment.
