30 September 2002 Notes "A Midsummer Night's Dream"
#1. Minion is on the stage to a great extent to distract the audience from Izan Knarf. She is sensual and flirtatious
#2. Tricks performed by Shelly (the minion at SSNova)
a. burning canary
b. ants/eggs to bones in the changing bag. (red changing bag ) GO TO THE ANTS/EGGS/BONES TEXT
c. sword swallow. (I don't think we should do the sword swallow because it is used during the same program in "The Worker" and will lessen it.)
d. Most importantly the Minion lead the audience in the dance with Hitler song. (This one will be like out there in Video land we are all going to dance with hitler) (close-up shots of face and lips to imply she is talking directly to the audience)
e. Minion gave radiation to the audience in original but in this one she could bring it over to the camera for a close-up. She would then go out of camera range. She could yell things (in background - off stage) like "Radiation, radiation, radiation"
f. Minion turned on the projector. But not necessary here since it is a controlled situation. However, Izan could tell her to and she leave camera range.
#3. Since this is continuous running video we will have to 1. Either pick places where Izan is not so interesting for the Minion to do her thing or 2. Pick breaks for her to do her thing. (perhaps while Izan is preparing something.)
| COSTUME: The Minion's costume should be a minimum like the one worn by Shelly at the SSNova shown 14 June 2002. This was a jester hat, a swastika arm band. Hawaiian Shirt, clown socks, and shorts that showed the clown socks. FOR THIS PERFORMANCE: We may could eliminate the swastika arm band, and the swastika on the jester hat. We may need to add something else. |
| TAPE REVIEW 1 October 2002: 1. Minion gave coke can away to audience member; 2. She used the red swastika bag and did the eggs/ants to bones trick; 3. Minion gives away Ed Gein food bag; 4. THE BIRD CAGE DONE BY IZAN WAS REALLY AWKWARD THIS WOULD BE A GOOD TIME FOR THE MINION TO DO A FIRE TRICK; 5, Minion gave away radiation; 7. Minion leads Hitler dance. |
