I am very happy with the way things turned out, but I think that my presentation could have been even better. The performance part with Matt was just one of those happenings where you happen to be in the right place at the right time. As we all sat in class I kept trying to decide when would I go for my turn, but something kept me feeling like I should wait...wait. And as I sat there I kept trying to think what angle did I want to come from with the audience and I was trying to zone out and remember a poem or line or a song that would break the ice for me to make the presentation more intimate. We got in the circle to participate in Matt's piece and before they got started all of a sudden I remembered this poem I love from years ago called Naked (by Gayle Danely) and the lines came back to me and then I realized, "Oh, this could work and mid way through their piece I realized this could work together, so I asked if I could jump in. It worked out and it was great, it reminded me of college when I used to do stuff like that all of the time with other performers and the energy just works out.
But...I think overall, it could have been better if it were completely planned out. I would have liked to incorporate music and a few more interactive elements. My overall wearable piece could have been better in construction and even more elaborate if I had made my mind up from the beginning. The entire time I kept going back and forth about keeping this and trashing that and I almost ran out of time. I prefer to be consistent and ahead of the game with my creative works. This time I will do a better job of executing the concept.
