Description

Speak Up
The project is to help raise awareness about sexual violence on campus and the changes that can be made. The performance involves hard-hitting statistics. We needed a very large group of people for a short amount of time. Participants stood in one spot for 15 minutes. It was simple and hopefully helped raise awareness. 
We hoped that seeing bodies will help people visualize and bring the statistics to life, which can drive the point home a lot better than just numbers. Participants were asked to show up least 10 minutes early and wear a red shirt — this part was mandatory and important to the aesthetics and the message of the whole performance.

Progress II



Lauren and I have a meeting on Friday with two sponsors from CARE, about coordinating with their Shatter the Silence project.

Story Project



Thinking about doing a piece on the area I grew up in.

  • Flooded the most fertile land in the midwest--for no reason
  • Old Randolph mostly moved into new space
  • Town never flourished after that
  • Lake shots

Progress



Today we:

Emailed CARE, Women's Studies,  and Student Life about their event going on each month called Shatter the Silence. Discussed linking with them to help promote their event, but also still have a performance piece.


We need to:

Come up with text for general email/facebook to send out to get volunteers to be a part of the performance

Keep/Throw out the name

Decide on items to represent people and their experiences
