Hannah Wilke's performance 'Through the looking glass' (which is discussed below) has been one of my main influences in creating my final idea.
I am going to use the idea of music and do something over that music that is contradictory.
As a result I have decided that I am going to perform the song 'Take Back Your Mink' from Guys and Dolls. First of all I will start with an exceptionally large amount of makeup on, including a wig and extremely fancy over the top costume. I am going to start performing the song in a very dead pan way for about 30 seconds. I will then pause the music and pretend I have gone wrong and ask to start again. As I do this I will take off some of my make up or take off some of my outfit then press play on the song again. As more of the make up and costume comes of my performance will get better and better until the very end where I will have not make up on and be in a nude leotard and the performance will be fun and enthusiastic. This will hopefully show that the more natural and true to yourself you are then the better you will perform. Not just perform on stage but also in life.
