Unit 6 Performance as Resistance

Q Drawing ideas and inspiration from your assigned readings, partake in an act of performance in your daily life. You have read about a number of performative forms and acts this week and may view a selection on http://www.ubu.com/, so you should have thoughts about a range of actions to take. Be creative, but please, do not disturb the public, indecently expose yourself, hurt yourself, or otherwise break any laws!!!!! Post a report about your performance to the discussion forum; discuss its inspiration as well as its results. Relate your class readings where appropriate. Does your performance show social and/or political resistance? How and why? You may also photograph or film it if you like and post those documents as well.

I composed a 1 stanza powerful poem and stayed outside my apartment. Some people looked intently and tapped my shoulder. Several just stared, but they looked alarmed. Some students said that my poem spoke varied meaning, while others said it had an in-depth connotation. Few employees said that I had a great point about it. My performance showed a social stance about women. I used simple words and I did not hurt anyone or anything.
