Creative Project

Check out the last video I posted on the video bar! It's about 8 minutes long... For my narrative in the arts class, I had to present a creative project to our group. My friends, Tara and Christina, and I got together to reflect on war. We were really struck by a quote that we saw in a peace museum in Normandy: "All war is civil war, for it is always man against man, spilling his own blood, tearing out his own entrails." We wanted to creatively express the quote through physical theater. It took a lot of work to put together the music and choreograph the fighting! But it was really rewarding when we finished and got great feedback from the group. Let me know what you think! Oh... one last thing: During one of the scenes, I got to smear paint on the audience including my professor! Too bad you can't see that on the video... Enjoy!

The physical drama gave me chills a couple of times. It helped to know that it was a creative project to summarize the experiences you have had across Europe and especially in regard to the things you have learned about WWI and WWII (and perhaps other wars). Great job!
