Isadora

Klaus Nomi rocked out Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead. At first when we watched Klaus Nomi I was impressed by his voice but I didn’t think I really connected with any of his songs. However, when we watched this video and Falling In Love Again I started to understand his strangeness. Everything about him was so bizarre, his look, voice, behavior.

I thought what we watched about AIDS was really interesting. During this time it was common that if you had AIDS you only would have around two months to live. The body would become frail and this allowed for expression through art. People saw how important the body was and at the same time whom non-important the body was. This opened the door for piercing, body modification and other ways to alter the body.

Leigh Bowery was so wild looking! It was really interesting to his how he dressed and how everyday was a performance for him. It is really crazy to think of how people commit their whole lives to this type of art.

I researched The Wooster Group a little bit. It is interesting to see how they have combined so many different types of media and art styles.

“Isadora” was SWEET. This would be so cool to play around with this type of technology. I know it is not similar but it reminded me of the stairs with sensors on them to play tones from.
