Day 26: CONFESSIONS DAY TWO
Today in class another bunch of confessions were displayed. I would have to to say the piece done by Maxwell about alcohol abuse. Max obviously took much time and effort to dial in every detail of his performance, making for a truly unique, powerful experience. With the lights turned off, all except a spotlight on the center of the room, the classroom was transformed into the unique locations of his scenes. He started off his piece pinning up a painting of two wine bottles, one pouring onto another, and proceeded to act out a scene taking place back when he was 14, an early introduction to the consequences of alcohol abuse. He then proceeded to fast foreword to present day, acting out a scene in which the role were reversed, where he now was the one being drunkenly "cared" for. This piece hit home with nearly everyone in the room, showing an all too familiar occurrence in our nearby Isla vista. I personally got chills during his performance.
