performance: Figure of Speech Four


In this performance we continued to develop the show from Figure of Speech One. I had hoped to continue the process with all three original shows, but due to various situations: health, grad school, travel, this wasn't possible.

Norma developed a character, who would probably be played by Tilda Swinton in the film version: a driven but appealing woman caught somewhere between ambition and self-consciousness.

The whole night developed into a kind of George Herriman cartoon, all the performers deliberately caught up in their own worlds and yet impinging on each other.
